Accents and dialects around the world, sentence 0

English is spoken all over the world, and every place has grown its own accent and words: a fizzy drink is "pop" in much of the American Midwest, "soda" in the Northeast and California, and sometimes just "coke" in parts of the South.

Who acts: place, fizzy drink · What happens: speak, grow, be, accent · To what, where: English, world, own accent, pop, much · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Accents and dialects around the world» 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 (place, fizzy drink), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
