 \item Parsing combinators consist of atomic parsers, alternative
   parsers, sequence parsers and semantic actions.  What is the purpose
   of (1) atomic parsers and of (2) semantic actions?
 
+\item Parser combinators can directly be given a string as
+      input, without the need of a lexer. What are the
+      advantages to first lex a string and then feed a
+      sequence of tokens as input to the parser?
