`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
  Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
  And the mome raths outgrabe.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously, my friend !!!

If we didn't use an explicit parser of some sort, we could use a logic
engine or a neural net acting as a parser.   Or, with a lot more
effort, make a system that learns from experience how to map syntax to
semantics, and in doing so, creates something similar to a parser
within itself...

I don't think the human brain achieves language understanding via
anything resembling simple Markov analysis.  I believe there's
something vaguely like a parser in there....   I'm aware the
neuroscience jury is still out on this one...
