Abstract
The description of language in terms of layers – sounds, words, and syntax – can suggest that a parse tree is a necessary step to obtain the semantic representation of a sentence. Yet, many industrial applications do not rely on syntax as we presented it before. The reason is that it is difficult to build a syntactic parser with large grammatical coverage, expensive in terms of resources, and sometimes it is not worth the cost.
