AnalyzeSyntax Processor
Part of the GCP Natural Language processor family
This processor analyzes an input string and breaks it down into sentences and tokens (which, in most cases, are words). Each token has a plethora of information about it, including tense, quantity, person, and many more. An extensive list is provided in the Data Output section.
Properties
All of our Natural Language processors also include these common properties.
This processor does not have any unique properties outside of the common ones.
Data Output
Field Name | Data Type | Description |
tokens | array of Token | The list of the tokens parsed by the API |
sentences | array of Sentence | The list of the sentences parsed by the API |
language | string | The language code of the language the input string is in |
Token
TokenField Name | Data Type | Description |
text | string | The raw text of this token |
lemma | string | The root/bare version of this word. Read more about lemma here. |
beginOffset | int | The number of characters from the beginning of the input string to the beginning of this token |
partOfSpeech | PartOfSpeech | A comprehensive list of all of the syntactical information pertaining to this token, such as gender, quantity, person, etcetera. |
dependencyEdge | DependencyEdge | Represents dependency tree information for this token. Read more here. |
Sentence
SentenceField Name | Data Type | Description |
