Phrases consist of one or more words that behave like a unit syntactically. Phrases typically have a unique '''head''', i.e. a most important word after which the phrase is named. Thus, the head of a noun phrase is a noun, the head of a verb phrase is a verb, etc. The other elements in the phrase are dependents of the head, i.e. complements and specifiers selected by the head, and adjuncts.
