Tannenbaum (Tree)

A Tannenbaum, or dependency tree, is a visual diagram used in linguistics to show how words in a sentence relate to each other. It starts with the main word, usually a verb, and branches out to show how other words like subjects, objects, and modifiers are connected. Think of it as a tree structure: the root is the main word, and the branches and leaves represent the supporting words. This helps analyze sentence structure, making it easier to understand how different parts work together to convey meaning.
