5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have presented SynchUVG-DL, a synchronous system which has restricted formal power, is computationally tractable, and which handles the quantifier-raising data. In addition, SynchUVG-DL can be used for modeling the syntax of languages with syntactic constructions which have been argued to be beyond the formal power of TAG, such as scrambling in German and many other languages (Rainbow, 1994) or wh-movement in Kashmiri (Rambow, Vijay-Shanker, and Weir, 1995).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> SynchUVG-DL can be used to synchronize a syntactic grammar for these languages either with a semantic grammar, or with the syntactic grammar of another language for machine translation applications. However, SynchUVG-DL cannot handle the list of cases listed in (Shieber, 1994). These pose a problem for SynchUVG-DL for the same reason that they pose a problem for other local synchronous systems: the (syntactic) dependency structures represented by the two derivations are different. These cases remain an open research issue.</Paragraph>
