  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}.
