Abstract

There are many misconceptions about dependency representations and phrase structure representations for syntax. They are partly due to terminological confusion, partly due to a lack of meta-scientific clarity about the roles of representations and linguistic theories. This opinion piece argues for a simple but clear view of syntactic representation.
