Who acts: tiny woman, teeny tiny voice, teeny tiny cupboard · What happens: be, sleep, awaken, say · To what, where: woman · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Cap O' Rushes. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (tiny woman, teeny tiny voice, teeny tiny cupboard), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
