Abstract
In this paper, I argue for the use of a probabilistic form of tree-adjoining grammar (TAG) iu statistical natural language processing. I first discuss two previous statistical approaches --- one that coucentrates on the probabilities of structural operations, and auo[her that emphasizes ccoccurrcucc relationships between words. I argue that a purely structural approach, ex- emplified by probabilistic context-free grammar, lacks sufficient sensitivity to lexical coiltext, and, conversely, that lexical co-occurence analyses require a richer notion of locality that is best provided by importing some notion of strueturc.
