<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Deep-sea fish live under enormous pressure because their bodies are full of water, which hardly squashes and is pressed evenly from all sides.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** sea fish, bodies, water · **What happens:** live, be, squash, press · **To what, where:** enormous pressure, sides

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Water safety and the ocean» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (sea fish, bodies, water), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
