This image displays a syntactic dependency tree diagram used in linguistics to show grammatical relationships between words. The background is white, and the text and lines are black.

At the very top center of the image is the label "ROOT". A straight vertical line drops down from this label to the word "stole," identifying it as the main verb or head of the sentence structure.

Along the bottom of the diagram is the full sentence written out in a serif font: "The angry squirrel stole the mixed nuts from Walmart ." There is a period at the very end of the line.

Curved lines with arrowheads connect specific words to illustrate how they relate to one another. Reading from left to right, starting from the center word "stole":

1.  **Subject Relationship:** An arc labeled "NSUBJ" (nominal subject) curves upward and to the left, connecting "squirrel" to "stole." This indicates that the squirrel is the subject performing the action.
2.  **Modifiers of "Squirrel":** Two arcs originate from above the word "squirrel" pointing downward:
    *   A shorter arc labeled "AMOD" (adjectival modifier) points to the word "angry."
    *   A longer, outer arc labeled "DET" (determiner) curves further left to point at the word "The."

3.  **Object Relationship:** An arc labeled "DOBJ" (direct object) curves upward and to the right from "stole," connecting it to the word "nuts." This indicates that the nuts are the direct object of the verb.
4.  **Modifiers of "Nuts":** Two arcs originate from above the word "nuts" pointing downward:
    *   A shorter arc labeled "AMOD" points to the word "mixed."
    *   A longer, outer arc labeled "DET" curves left to point at the word "the."

5.  **Prepositional Phrase:** An arc labeled "NMOD" (nominal modifier) connects the phrase starting with "from" back to the noun "nuts," indicating that this prepositional phrase modifies the nuts.
6.  **Case Relationship:** Finally, an arc labeled "CASE" connects the word "from" to the proper noun "Walmart." The line curves over "from" and points down at "Walmart."
