What do you call a drawing that shows the structure of a sentence?

Answer 1

The process is called parsing or diagramming; when you diagram a sentence you analyze its structure and demonstrate the structure graphically.

You begin with the subject of the sentence. This is a noun or pronoun at the start of the sentence. For instance, in the sentence 'He runs.' the subject is 'he'.

Draw a horizontal line. Place the subject on top of the line at the left side.

Then find the verb of the sentence. In 'He runs.' the verb is 'runs'

Draw a vertical line through the horizontal line after the subject. Then write the verb after the vertical line atop the horizontal line.

Now come the adjectives, adverbs, and articles. Any of these types of words should be placed on a diagonal line beneath the word they describe.

Answer 2

A diagram that shows the structure of a sentence is called a syntax tree or a sentence diagram. This type of diagram visually represents the relationships between words in a sentence, including parts of speech, phrasing, and dependencies.
