1 Chomsky Hierarchy

2 What is Chomsky Hierarchy? The classification of languages into 4 classes; the description of the grammar for each class, and the machine that can recognize the grammar / language. 2

4 Definition of Grammars A grammar G is defined as a quadruple : G = (V,, P, S) where: V is a finite set of variables (the alphabet) is a finite set of terminal symbols, where V = P is a finite set of rules (production rules) S is the start symbol, S V 4

5 Unrestricted Grammars: Productions u v String of variables String of variables Note: All variables written in capital case. All terminals written in lower/small case. 5

6 Example of Unrestricted Grammar: G = ({S, A, B}, {a, c, d}, P, S) 1 P: S abc ab ca Ac d 6

7 Another example of unrestricted grammar: A grammar that generates {a i b i c i i 0}. G = (V,, R, S) where V = {S, A, C}, = {a, b, c} R = { S aabc A aabc Cb bc Cc cc } S aabc aaabcbc aabbcc aabbcc

8 Another example of unrestricted grammar: G 2 = ({S, A, B, C, D, E}, {a}, P, S) P: S ACaB Ca aac CB DB E ad Da AAD AC ae Ea AE 8

9 Context-Sensitive Grammars: Productions u v String of variables String of variables and: u v 9

10 Example of Context-Sensitive Grammar: G 1 = ({S, A, B}, {a, b}, P, S) P: S abc aabc Ab ba Aa Bbcc bb Bb ab aa aaa 10

11 Context-Free Grammars: Productions u v Variable u V String of variables v (V )* 11

12 Example of Context-Free Gramar: G 1 = ({S, A}, {a, b}, P, S) P: S AA A AAA ba Ab a G 2 = ({S, B}, {a, b}, P, S) P: S asa aba B bb b G 3 = ({S, A}, {a, b}, P, S) P: S absa A Aa 12

13 Regular Grammars: A regular grammar is a CFG in which each rule has one of the following form: 1. A a 2. A ab 3. A λ where A, B V, and a Σ 13

14 Example of Regular Grammar: G 1 = ({S,A,B}, {a,b}, P, S) P: S ab B bs ba A aa 14

15 The Chomsky Hierarchy Recursively Enumerable Languages Context Sensitive Languages Context Free Languages Regular Languages {a n b n c n, n 0} {a n b n c n, n 0} {a n b n, n 0} {a m b n, m, n 0}

16 The Chomsky Hierarchy Take note that: regular grammar, context-free grammar, context sensitive grammar; are also unrestricted grammar.
