Who acts: vaccine, immune system · What happens: want, be, study, remember, destroy, turn up · To what, where: wanted poster, harmless copy, system, real germ
This is a sentence of the lesson «Staying healthy: germs, vaccines, sleep, food and exercise» of the biology 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 (vaccine, immune system), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
