Lexeme




<grammar> A minimal lexical unit of a language.

Lexical analysis converts strings in a language into a list of lexemes.

For a programming language these word-like pieces would include keywords, identifiers, literals and punctutation.

The lexemes are then passed to the parser for syntactic analysis.
