This step-by-step guide will help you navigate through the chunking simulation and learn about syntactic phrase identification.

Step 1: Access the Instructions

1. Click on the Instructions panel at the top of the simulation
2. Read through the 7-step process to understand the workflow
3. Keep the instructions open for reference during the experiment

Step 2: Language Selection

1. Locate the "Language Selection" dropdown in the left pane
2. Choose your preferred language:

   • Hindi: For exploring Hindi chunking patterns
3. Observe: The sentence selection options will appear after language selection

Step 3: Sentence Selection

1. Use the "Sentence Selection" dropdown that appears after language selection
2. Browse available sentences of varying complexity levels
3. Select a sentence that matches your current skill level:
   • Start with simpler sentences for initial practice
   • Progress to complex sentences as you gain confidence

Step 4: Analyze the Sentence Structure

1. Examine the selected sentence displayed in the results panel
2. Identify potential word groups that might form chunks
3. Consider the syntactic relationships between adjacent words
4. Think about chunk boundaries before making selections

Step 5: Assign Chunk Labels

1. Click on each word in the sentence to select it
2. Use the dropdown menu that appears for each word
3. Select the appropriate chunk type from available options:
