More on Dominance Links Dominance links are quite common in tree description formalisms, where they were already in use in D-theory (Marcus et al., 1983) and in quasi-tree semantics for fb-TAGs (Vijay-Shanker, 1992).
d-tree substitution grammars are essentially the same as UVG-dls (Rambow et al., 2001), and quite a few other tree description formalisms subsume them (Candito and Kahane, 1998;Kallmeyer, 2001;Guillaume and Perrier, 2010).
