English Fairy Tales, XXXIII. the Laidly Worm., sentence 15
_Remarks_.--It is perhaps unnecessary to give the equations “Laidly Worm = Loathly Worm = Loathsome Dragon,” and “borrowed = changed.”
Who acts: Remarks · What happens: be, give, borrow, change · To what, where: equations
This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, XXXIII. the Laidly Worm.. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Remarks), 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.
