The main difference lies in what is considered the reference word order that is being permuted.

To say that CCG generates only separable permutations of the NOD is to make a clear prediction about what permutations can be found in natural languages. However, the same is not the case with ITG, which does not identify any NOD. For ITG the reference word order is that of the source language in the MT task. Taking a different language as a source language gives a different prediction of what will be found in the world's languages. Take, for instance, the previous example \"these five young lads.\" If ITG takes English as a source language then it will make the same prediction as CCG. But if we had, for example, taken Spanish as a source language, with the word order \"these five lads young,\" ITG would be able to derive \"five lads these young,\" which has not been attested and that CCG predicts to be impossible.
