← Language & CommunicationIf a computer parser encounters a sentence with deeply nested clauses that exceed its stack limit, which consequence follows?
A)Lexical ambiguity will be resolved
B)Semantic coherence is automatically strengthened
C)Syntactic parsing will likely fail✓
D)Phonological processing will be enhanced
💡 Explanation
Syntactic parsing fails because the parser's stack overflows due to the number of nested clauses exceeding the stack limit. Therefore, the parser cannot build the correct parse tree, rather than any semantic or phonological processes being affected by stack overflow.
