Phrase chunking is a natural language process that separates and segments a sentence into constituents, such as noun, verb, and prepositional phrases, abbreviated as NP, VP, and PP, respectively. Each chunk must not contain a word from another chunk, which creates non-overlapping phrases. Typically, one chunk is denoted by brackets. For example, the sentence "They went to the beach." can be broken down as follows: [NP They] [VP went] [PP to] [NP the beach].
