A representation of context-free grammars with the help of finite digraphs
نویسنده
چکیده
For any context-free grammar, we build a transition diagram, that is, a finite directed graph with labeled arcs, which describes the work of the grammar. This approach is new, and it is different from previously known graph models. We define the concept of proper walk in this transition diagram and we prove that a word belongs to a given context-free language if and only if this word can be obtained with the help of a proper walk.

A Representation of Trees by Languages I
A tree can be represented by a language consisting of a suitable coding of its finite branches. We investigate this representation and derive a number of reductions between certain equivalence problems for context-free tree grammars ~nd recursive program schemes and the (open) equivalence problem for DPDA's. This is the first ~zrt of th~s work: it is devoted to technical results on prefix-free ...
متن کاملStudying impressive parameters on the performance of Persian probabilistic context free grammar parser
In linguistics, a tree bank is a parsed text corpus that annotates syntactic or semantic sentence structure. The exploitation of tree bank data has been important ever since the first large-scale tree bank, The Penn Treebank, was published. However, although originating in computational linguistics, the value of tree bank is becoming more widely appreciated in linguistics research as a whole. F...
متن کاملOn Unconditional Transfer
In this paper, we investigate the concept of unconditional transfer within various forms of regulated grammars like programmed grammars, matrix grammars, grammars with regular control, grammars controlled by bicoloured digraphs, and periodically time-variant grammars , especially regarding their descriptive capacity. Moreover, we sketch the relations to restricted parallel mechanisms like k-, u...
متن کاملFinite-State Approximation of Phrase Structure Grammars
Phrase-structure grammars are effective models for important syntactic and semantic aspects of natural languages, but can be computationally too demanding for use as language models in real-time speech recognition. Therefore, finite-state models are used instead, even though they lack expressive power. To reconcile those two alternatives, we designed an algorithm to compute finite-state approxi...
متن کاملParsing with Pictures
The development of elegant and practical algorithms for parsing context-free languages is one of the major accomplishments of 20 century Computer Science. These algorithms are presented in the literature using string rewriting systems or abstract machines like pushdown automata, but the resulting descriptions are unsatisfactory for several reasons. First, even a basic understanding of parsing a...
