left-recursive grammar
1Left recursion — In computer science, left recursion is a special case of recursion. In terms of context free grammar, a non terminal r is left recursive if the left most symbol in any of r’s ‘alternatives’ either immediately (direct left recursive) or through… …
2Recursive categorical syntax — Recursive categorical syntax, also sometimes called algebraic syntax, is an algebraic theory of syntax developed by Michael Brame as an alternative to transformational generative grammar. It is a type of dependency grammar, and is related to link …
3Recursive descent parser — A recursive descent parser is a top down parser built from a set of mutually recursive procedures (or a non recursive equivalent) where each such procedure usually implements one of the production rules of the grammar. Thus the structure of the… …
4Parsing expression grammar — A parsing expression grammar, or PEG, is a type of analytic formal grammar that describes a formal language in terms of a set of rules for recognizing strings in the language. A parsing expression grammar essentially represents a recursive… …
5Tail recursive parser — Tail recursive parsers are derived from the more common Recursive descent parsers. Tail recursive parsers are commonly used to parse left recursive grammars. They use a smaller amount of stack space than regular recursive descent parsers. They… …
6HEBREW GRAMMAR — The following entry is divided into two sections: an Introduction for the non specialist and (II) a detailed survey. [i] HEBREW GRAMMAR: AN INTRODUCTION There are four main phases in the history of the Hebrew language: the biblical or classical,… …
7Context-free grammar — In formal language theory, a context free grammar (CFG) is a formal grammar in which every production rule is of the form V → w where V is a single nonterminal symbol, and w is a string of terminals and/or nonterminals (w can be empty). The… …
8Controlled grammar — Controlled grammars[1] are a class of grammars that extend, usually, the context free grammars with additional controls on the derivations of a sentence in the language. A number of different kinds of controlled grammars exist, the four main… …
9Nominal group (functional grammar) — Those five beautiful shiny Jonathan apples sitting on the chair In systemic functional grammar (SFG), a nominal group is a group of words which expresses an entity. A nominal group is widely regarded as synonymous to noun phrase in other… …
10Combinatory categorial grammar — (CCG) is an efficiently parseable, yet linguistically expressive grammar formalism. It has a transparent interface between surface syntax and underlying semantic representation, including predicate argument structure, quantification and… …
