A context-free grammar is a single-tree grammar (STG) if every nonterminal symbol has at most one production rule whose right hand side contains nonterminal symbols. Various prope...
We examine the role of simplicity in directing the induction of context-free grammars from sample sentences. We present a rational reconstruction of Wol 's SNPR { the Gridssys...
Lambek [13] introduces pregroups as a new framework for syntactic structure. In this paper we prove some new theorems on pregroups and study grammars based on the calculus of free...
Grammars, especially context-free grammars, are widely used within and even outside the field of computer science. In this paper, we present a systematic framework for grammar te...
Context-free grammars cannot be identified in the limit from positive examples (Gold, 1967), yet natural language grammars are more powerful than context-free grammars and humans ...

This paper describes the Omphalos Context-Free Grammar Learning Competition held as part of the International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference 2004. The competition was created ...
Abstract. This paper investigates the learnability of Pregroup Grammars, a context-free grammar formalism recently defined in the field of computational linguistics. In a first ...
It has been known since 1962 that the ambiguity problem for context-free grammars is undecidable. Ambiguity in context-free grammars is a recurring problem in language design and p...
Abstract It has recently been proved (Je˙z, DLT 2007) that conjunctive grammars (that is, context-free grammars augmented by conjunction) generate some nonregular languages over a...
