The paper by Leech et al. describes the aims of the LOB Corpus Grammatical Tagging project, and explains the suite of programs we are using to achieve these aims. In this paper, I would like to look in greater detail at the theoretical basis of these programs; I shall attempt to explain exactly what constituent-likelihood grammar involves, and suggest some other applications of this probabilistic approach to natural language syntax analysis.
