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.
