Hello�

What is chunking? I am wondering about this. For me, he breaking of utterances in a text into meaningful units in the process of comprehension and interpretation is called chunking and each unit of meaning is called a chunk.

For example:
I want /five/foot-long sausages.
I want/five-foot long/sausages.

Do you all agree with me?
