ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lexical analysis

Lexical Analysis is like a detective game! It's when we try to figure out the meaning of words by looking at the way the words are put together and the context in which they are used. It's like when we try to figure out who, what, when, where, and why from a story. We look at each word, the sentence it's in, and the bigger picture to figure out the meaning.
