    The parsing community has long recognized the importance of
    lexicalized models of syntax.  By contrast, these models do not
    appear to have had an impact on the statistical NLG community.  To
    prove their importance in NLG, we show that a lexicalized model of
    syntax improves the performance of a statistical text compression
    system, and show results that suggest it would also improve the
    performances of an MT application and a pure natural language
    generation system.
