Chomsky-Schutzenberger Type Characterizations Based on Contextual Languages

  • Published:
Grammars

Abstract

Two strategies of parallel adjoining of contexts are considered for contextual grammars with choice. After a short comparison between them, there are provided Chomsky-Schutzenberger type characterizations of context-free and recursively enumerable languages.
