I studied NLP in Prague, and we tend to use "dependency grammars" more than "phrase structure grammars" of Chomsky

I didn't work in the field at all after finishing the studies, so I cannot really tell you any actual implications of the different grammar approach anymore.

Dependency grammars are just another grammar formalism. They’re an alternative to Chomsky’s specific technical proposals but not to his overall approach.
