Celtic Fairy Tales, Notes and References, sentence 79
In the following Notes I have done as in my _English Fairy Tales_, and given first, the _sources_ whence I drew the tales, then _parallels_ at length for the British Isles, with bibliographical references for parallels abroad, and finally, _remarks_ where the tales seemed to need them.
Who acts: I, tales · What happens: follow, do, give, draw, seem, need · To what, where: _ sources, following Notes, tales
This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Notes and References. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, tales), 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.
