On the Concatenation of One-Turn Pushdowns
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently two ways of concatenating pushdowns have be investigated and it has been argued that the resulting storage types might be useful for the description of natural languages. In this paper I will consider concatenations of oneeturn pushdowns. I will give characterizations of the languages accepted by automata using these storage types in terms of linear grammars with controlled derivations. These representations show that for oneeturn pushdowns both ways of concatenating are equivalent. Further a relation to the welllknown hierarchy of Khabbaz is established.

A Hierarchy of Mildly Context-Sensitive Dependency Grammars
The paper presents Colored Multiplanar Link Grammars (CMLG). These grammars are reducible to extended right-linear S-grammars (Wartena 2001) where the storage type S is a concatenation of c pushdowns. The number of colors available in these grammars induces a hierarchy of Classes of CMLGs. By fixing also another parameter in CMLGs, namely the bound t for non-projectivity depth, we get c-Colored...
متن کاملAutomata with two-sided pushdowns defined over free groups generated by reduced alphabets
This paper introduces and discusses a modification of pushdown automata. This modification is based on two-sided pushdowns into which symbols are pushed from both ends. These pushdowns are defined over free groups, not free monoids, and they can be shortened only by the standard group reduction. We demonstrate that these automata characterize the family of recursively enumerable languages even ...
متن کاملOn Pure Multi-Pushdown Automata that Perform Complete-Pushdown Pops
This paper introduces and discusses pure multi-pushdown automata that remove symbols from their pushdowns only by performing complete-pushdown pops. During this operation, the entire pushdown is compared with a prefix of the input, and if they match, the pushdown is completely emptied and the input is advanced by the prefix. The paper proves that these automata define an infinite hierarchy of l...
متن کاملExtending Linear Indexed Grammars
This paper presents a possibility to extend the formalism of linear indexed grammars. The extension is based on the use of tuples of pushdowns instead of one pushdown to store indices during a derivation. If a restriction on the accessibility of the pushdowns is used, it can be shown that the resulting formalisms give rise to a hierarchy of languages that is equivalent with a hierarchy defined ...
متن کاملTwo-sided Pushdown Automata over Free Groups
In the two-sided pushdown automata discussed in this paper, their two-sided pushdowns are introduced over free groups rather than free monoids. It is demonstrated that these automata with pushdowns introduced in this way characterize the family of recursively enumerable languages.
