Well... 
Isn't that what I said?
If a compiler determines which letters represent 'words' and determines the relationship between the words (this word is a command, this word is a modifier of the command, this word is a data item, this word is the object of the command, etc) -- and determines whether the entire string represents a valid sequence of words (accept!) or not (reject! print out error message!) -- isn't that 'parsing' by your own definition?

What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.
