 @cindex text parsing
 
   A @dfn{syntax table} specifies the syntactic textual function of each
-character.  This information is used by the parsing commands, the
+character.  This information is used by the @dfn{parsing functions}, the
 complex movement commands, and others to determine where words, symbols,
 and other syntactic constructs begin and end.  The current syntax table
 controls the meaning of the word motion functions (@pxref{Word Motion})
