Refugees, aid and sanctions: how the world helps and pushes, sentence 3
Imagine your street suddenly unsafe: some neighbours reach a camp just over the border, some pay smugglers to cross the sea in small boats, some are welcomed into a stranger's spare room.
Who acts: you, neighbours, some · What happens: imagine, reach, pay, cross, welcome · To what, where: street, camp, border, smugglers, sea, some
This is a sentence of the lesson «Refugees, aid and sanctions: how the world helps and pushes» of the politics 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, neighbours, some), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
