Abstract: In this work, we introduce a generative model, PLC+, for generating Lambek Categorial Grammar(LCG) sequents. We also introduce a simple method to numerically estimate the model’s parameters from an annotated corpus. Then we compare our model with probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs) and show that PLC+ simultaneously assigns a higher probability to a common corpus, and has greater coverage.
