Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs, sentence 0
Some fears come from things that happened to us, and some from things we hear about: a drill, a news report, a video, half a sentence from grown-ups in the kitchen; the mind fills the gaps with the worst version.
Who acts: fears, things, we, mind · What happens: come, happen, hear, drill, grow, fill · To what, where: things, us, gaps
This is a sentence of the lesson «Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs» of the reflection 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 (fears, things, we, mind), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
