Lisbon, sentence 341
From Wikipedia, «Lisbon», revision of the 2026-09-01 dump, CC BY-SA 4.0. The trees and pragmatics of these pages, Mova's parse of that text, are CC BY-SA 4.0 too.
This may be due to the fact that Lisbon city's age structure is older than the one found in the surrounding areas and, in general, younger generations tend to be less religious.
Who acts: This, younger generations · What happens: be, find, surround, tend · To what, where: one, surrounding areas
