On some similarities between D-tree grammars and type-logical grammars

The above example d-tree, drawn from (Rambow et al., 1995), allows topicalisation of the verb's object, as in (e.g.) Hotdogs;, he claims Mary seems to adore t;, where NP1 is the fronted object, and NP2 the verb's subject. 2 The main operation3 for composing d-trees is subsertion, which, loosely, combines two d-trees to produce another, by substituting a fragment of one at a suitable node in the other, with other ( dominating) fragments of the first being intercalated into domination links of the second. The approach is motivated by problems of relate.d formaiisms (such as TAG and MCTAG-DV) involving
