A 'tree adjoining' grammar without adjoining: The case of scrambling in German
Gerard Kempen, Karin Harbusch · 1998
this paper we compare the psycholinguistically motivated grammar formalism of Performance Grammar (PG, [Kempen 97]) to Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG). PG is similar to recent versions of TAG (cf., e.g., [Joshi et al. 91]) in several important respects: it uses lexicalized initial trees (including substitution trees); it generates derived trees synchronously linked to conceptual structures described in the same formalism (as in Synchronous TAGs [Shieber, Schabes 90]); and it factors dominance relationships and linear precedence in surface structure trees ([Joshi 87])
