Break into parts and analyze (5)

I believe the answer is:

parse

(Other definitions for parse that I've seen before include "Resolve (a sentence) into its constituent parts" , "Analyse sentence" , "Deconstruct grammatically" , "Analyse syntactically" , "do grammatical analysis" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
