sentence diagramming
Grammar tree drawing
Sentence diagramming is a method of visually representing grammatical structure by placing words on lines that show their relationships.
The subject and verb sit on a horizontal baseline, with modifiers branching below on slanted lines.
Once standard in American schools, the practice has largely fallen out of favor: We spent the whole class diagramming sentences.
