Slang and how it changes with every generation, sentence 1

Picture one pizza and three generations: Grandad says "That's groovy!" (1960s), Mum says "That's cool!" (an old jazz word from the 1930s and 1940s that never died), and Mia says "That's bussin'!" (today, meaning really tasty).

Who acts: you, Grandad, That, Mum, old jazz word, Mia · What happens: picture, say, be, not die, mean · To what, where: one pizza · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Slang and how it changes with every generation» of the language 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 (you, Grandad, That, Mum), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×2, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
