 Tree-sitter's parsing process is divided into two phases: parsing (which is described above) and [lexing][lexing] - the process of grouping individual characters into the language's fundamental *tokens*. There are a few important things to know about how Tree-sitter's lexing works.
 
-### Conflict Resolution
+### Conflicting Tokens
 
 Grammars often contain multiple tokens that can match the same characters. For example, a grammar might contain the tokens (`"if"` and `/[a-z]+/`). Tree-sitter differentiates between these conflicting tokens in a few ways:
 
-1. **Context-aware lexing** - Tree-sitter performs lexing on-demand, during the parsing process. At any given position in a source document, the lexer only tries to recognize tokens that are *valid* at that position in the document.

-2. **Longest-match** - If multiple valid tokens match the characters at a given position in a document, Tree-sitter will select the token that matches the [longest sequence of characters][longest-match].
+2. **Lexical Precedence** - When the precedence functions described [above](#using-the-grammar-dsl) are used within the `token` function, the given precedence values serve as instructions to the lexer. If there are two valid tokens that match the characters at a given position in the document, Tree-sitter will select the one with the higher precedence.

+4. **Match Specificity** - If there are two valid tokens with the same precedence and which both match the same number of characters, Tree-sitter will prefer a token that is specified in the grammar as a `String` over a token specified as a `RegExp`.
