Abstract

In this paper a way to define a distance on a semigroup (with respect to a nonempty subset of S) one gives. We establish any properties of build metric space. When S is the free semigroup generated by a finite set Σ we obtain the distances on the languages. Two new language classes one defines: local finite and local bounded and the conections between the two language classes and languages from the Chomsky hierarchy are establish.
