But assuming you&amp;#x27;re talking about semantics vs. syntax, then continuous representations can certainly do a lot more than just syntax. They can model how words change in meaning over time [1], they can identify words that mean the same in different languages [2] and use that to translate whole sentences [3] without ever seeing a direct translation. Of course none of those tasks are solved to perfection yet, but some kind of meaning is definitely being captured.
