Tags "dependency grammar" and "dependency"

Question

I noticed some activity in adding dependency to some questions that are already tagged with dependency-grammar.

At the time of this writing, there are 6 questions in dependency and 49 in dependency-grammar with 2 questions having both tags. dependency-grammar has a tag wiki while dependency hasn't.

What to do with this? Is there need for two different tags here or should the two of them be synonymised?

Answer 1

"Dependency" does seem to be mostly associated with "dependency grammar", and most of the dependency tagged questions do seem to be about DG, so a tag merge makes sense.

One exception to that generalisation is "dependent-marking languages" (as compared to head-marking languages). That's a typological term that gets used by constituency grammars. But it probably doesn't need its own tag.
