It's not yet clear what this means. From the user's perspective, FullForm is parsing. From https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/216984/27662:

Most signifcantly, FullForm doesn't depend on the environment--parsing of an input might be context-dependent, but once you have an expression its FullForm is unambiguous. – Itai Seggev
