- QUOTE: It is convenient to represent syntactic structure by means of graphic structures called trees; these consist of a set of nodes connected by branches. It is sometimes useful to distinguish between two types of nodes: terminal nodes, which are labeled with vocabulary items, and nonterminal nodes, which are labeled with syntactic categories.
