Wants and needs, sentence 2

People often say "need" when they mean "want": nobody dies without the new FIFA, and calling it a want helps you decide calmly instead of in a panic.

Who acts: People, nobody, want, you · What happens: say, mean, die, call, help, decide · To what, where: want, you, panic · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Wants and needs» of the money 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 (People, nobody, want, you), 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): R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. 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.
