5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have presented Trace &amp; Unification Grammar, a grammar formalism that tries to bridge the gap between UG and GB theory with the aim of adopting many of the linguistic descriptions of German found in the linguistics literature. Besides German, the presented grammar formalism has also been used successfully to describe a smaller subset of Chinese. We have compared TUG descriptions of some phenomena in german syntax to approaches that do not make use of movement rules but use \[D/LP rules instead and shown that in all these cases TUG provides a simple and elegant description whereas the ID/LP approach in most cases even fails to describe the data at all. Furthermore we have briefly mentioned tile way TUG can be compiled to an efficient parser. Empirical tests have shown that using movement rules and traces does not lead to a considerable decrease in parsing speed.</Paragraph>
