We have also shown that the analyses provided by the functional uncertainty machinery can be obtained without going beyond the power of mildly context-sensitive grammars. We have briefly discussed some linguistic and computational aspects of these results.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> We believe that our results described in this paper can be extended to other formalisms, such as Combinatory Categorial Grammars (CCG), which also provide an e~ended domain of locality. It is of particular interest to carry out this investigation in the context of CCG because of their weak equivalence to TAG (Weir and Joshi \[12\]). This exploration will help us view this equivalence from the structural point of view.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
