  Introduction to Syntactic Processing Syntactic processing is a key step in Natural Language Processing (NLP) that focuses on analyzing the grammatical structure of text. It involves understanding how words are arranged to form phrases, clauses, or sentences, and establishing relationships between them based on syntax rules of a given language. Essentially, it determines "who does what to whom" in a sentence. Goals of Syntactic Processing Parsing Sentences : Analyzing the structure of a sentence based on grammatical rules. Example: Identifying the subject, verb, and object in "The cat chased the mouse." Establishing Hierarchical Structure : Breaking down sentences into smaller units like phrases and identifying how these units relate to each other. Example: Recognizing a noun phrase ("The big dog") or a verb phrase ("is barking loudly"). Syntax Error Detection : Identifying grammatical errors in text. Example: Spotting an is...

  Introduction to Lexical Processing Lexical processing is the first and most fundamental step in Natural Language Processing (NLP). It focuses on the analysis of individual words or tokens in a given text. This level of processing breaks down raw text into manageable units (tokens) and studies their basic characteristics, such as spelling, frequency, and position. Lexical processing lays the groundwork for higher levels of language understanding, including syntax and semantics. Key Objectives of Lexical Processing Tokenization : Splitting text into smaller units, such as words, characters, or subwords. These tokens are used for further linguistic and machine learning tasks. Example: Input: "The quick brown fox." Output Tokens: ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "."] Normalization : Prepares text for analysis by converting it to a consistent format. Common steps include: Lowercasing: "Hello" → "...
