Then the original discourse marker may not be appropraite in the revised sentence plan.

for example, consider how the application of the following revision types requires different lexicalizations for the initial discourse markers: Clause Aggregation: The merging of two main clauses into one main clause and one subordinate clause: Clause Demotion: Two main clauses are merged where one of them no longer has a clause structure: The happy man went home.¨the man was poor.

Comparing different probability models in terms of their effects on classification under a Naive Bayes assumption is likely to yield very conservative results, since the Naive Bayes classifier can perform accurate classifications under many kinds of adverse conditions and even when highly inaccurate probability estimates are used (Domingos and Pazzani, 1996;Garg and Roth, 2001).
