    • Morphology is the study of word formation. The morphological processes of a natural language create completely new words or word forms from a root form. Syntax is the linguistic study that describes how a language user combines words to form phrases and sentences. Semantics is the study of the meanings created by words and phrases. It is the purpose of natural language parsers to describe the syntax of the input sentences, usually without any reference to semantics (Sikkel 1997). Some parsers can also perform a morphological analysis to capture the structure of individual words
