The process of dividing sentences into phrases is automated. The sentence is divided into sub-sentences using statistical analysis. Then, the sub-sentences are into phrases, using statistical analysis. For example, for each pair of adjacent words in the sentence a metric is calculated which represents a strength of disconnection between the adjacent words. The sentence is divided into sub-sentences at locations in the sentence where the metric exceeds a first threshold.
