    <Paragraph position="0"> The main goal of the proposed project is to develop a language model(LM) that uses syntactic structure.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The principles that guided this propoSSal were: * the model will develop syntactic knowledge as a built-in feature; it will assign a probability to every joint sequence of words-binary-parse-structure; * the model should operate in a left-to-right manner so that it would be possible to decode word lattices provided by an automatic speech recognizer.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The model consists of two modules: a next word predictor which makes use of syntactic structure as developed by a parser. The operations of these two modules are intertwined.</Paragraph>
