If this value is not uniform, an average branching factor can be calculated. For example, in chess, if we consider a "node" to be a legal pos
Branching (linguistics)Languages typically construct phrases with a head (or nucleus) and zero or more dependents (modifiers). For example, in English a noun phrase can be constructed as follows: noun (e. People") article + noun (e. The man") article + adjective + noun (e.
