Morphology

natural + language + processing + application

The phrase is fully compositional: 'natural' modifies 'language', 'language processing' denotes the processing of human language, and 'application' denotes a software program, so together they mean a software program that processes natural human language. This straightforward modifier–noun structure is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can reliably infer the meaning.

Etymology

Natural language processing application paints a simple picture: imagine a small machine that reads our everyday words (natural language), sorts and cleans them (processing), and acts like a useful tool (application). So, the phrase means a 'software program' that can understand and work with human text.
