  DTG are designed to share some of the advantages of TAG while overcoming some
of its limitations. DTG involve two composition operations called subsertion
and sister-adjunction. The most distinctive feature of DTG is that, unlike TAG,
there is complete uniformity in the way that the two DTG operations relate
lexical items: subsertion always corresponds to complementation and
sister-adjunction to modification. Furthermore, DTG, unlike TAG, can provide a
uniform analysis for em wh-movement in English and Kashmiri, despite the fact
that the em wh element in Kashmiri appears in sentence-second position, and not
sentence-initial position as in English.
