Hi Mariana,<br>
<br>
If you do not insist on the MOTHER feature you can use both systems<br>
right away. Using MOTHER would make some minor changes to the parser<br>
necessary (the implementational equivalent to the Meta principle that<br>
licences signs). Maybe there is already an LKB version that does work<br>
with MOTHER. TRALE does not do it right now.<br>
<br>
But you can just represent PHON, SYN, and SEM at the toplevel and not<br>
use any DTRS feature and you are pretty close to SB-CxG. If you do not<br>
want to use a DTRS feature explicietly, TRALE does not require one, so<br>
you have the desired locality restrictions.<br>
<br>
On the other hand you may want to keep the DTRS to analyze certain<br>
idioms. See for instance the following paper for reasons to keep this<br>
feature:<br>

<br>
Gert Webelhuth just finished a SB-CxG paper and he uses Trale for<br>
implementational purposes.<br>
