\nconstraints. Syntactic systems can learn
\nlexicalized and unlexicalized rules, but the
\njoint modeling of lexical choice and
\nreordering can narrow the applicability of
\nlearned rules. The treelet approach models
\nreordering separately from lexical choice,
\nusing a discriminatively trained order
\nmodel, which allows treelets to apply
\nbroadly, and has shown better
\ngeneralization to new domains, but suffers
