This is the answer for your first question
Based on linguistic principles a noun phrase in English can be precede at by determinar "a" and "the" "an" also by adjective as the following examples: an elephant, a cow, the tree, beautiful girl.
Software base to be instructed to the phrase the/a/an/+N as the noun phrase
Adj+N as Noun phrase. In noun phrase, noun is the head mostly preceding by determinar "a"and "the" the adjectives. Before "a" and "the" the preposition can precede the determinar. Not all the four word clusters are noun phrase, grammer dictates the boundary as explained above.
