Deep Parsing makes it possible for all relations between elements in tree to be strictly local.

The primary distinctive property of "Constructionalist Parsing" is fact that meaning of all elements of a syntactic tree is determined locally.

The argument structures of all verbs are represent by a small number of "functional elements". These "functional elements" introduce arguments and determine semantic roles of immediately adjacent Noun Phrases.

The state-of-art algorithms of "pattern matching" generally fail to produce good results on natural language text, before or after parsing. But when text undergoes "Constructionalist Parsing", output is more accessible to standard "pattern matching" methods and analysis, because an appropriate representation of text is generated that is in domain of real Computer Science.
