Abstract
In this paper weak combinatory logic as an algorithmic language is considered and various notions of structural and computational complexity are introduced. Particular attention is devoted to the definitional power of a system of combinators,that is to the concept of “subbase”. Some results concerning the relations between specific subbases and their generative power are presented.
