reparsing

Second syntactic analysis

Reparsing is analyzing something again, typically text or data that a computer program breaks into components.

In computing, code or input may need reparsing when initial interpretation fails or when context changes: The compiler kept reparsing the same line looking for errors.

More broadly, reparsing can mean reinterpreting any statement or situation: I found myself reparsing her words for hidden meaning.
