parser
     
         an algorithm or program to determine the
        syntactic structure of a sentence or string of symbols in some
        language.  a parser normally takes as input a sequence of
        tokens output by a lexical analyser.  it may produce some
        kind of abstract syntax tree as output.  one of the best
        known parser generators is yacc.
