  abstract  = {Syntax plays an important role in the task of predicting the semantic structure
	of a sentence. But syntactic phenomena such as alternations, control and
	raising tend to obfuscate the relation between syntax and semantics. In this
	paper we predict the semantic structure of a sentence using a deeper syntax
	than what is usually done. This deep syntactic representation abstracts away
	from purely syntactic phenomena and proposes a structural organization of the
	sentence that is closer to the semantic representation. Experiments conducted
	on a French corpus annotated with semantic frames showed that a semantic parser
	reaches better performances with such a deep syntactic input.},
