Mildly context-sensitive grammar formalism
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Computational_linguistics/XmegJ6LC">computational linguistics</a>, the term mildly context-sensitive grammar formalisms refers to several <a href="/facts/Grammar_formalism/QLxaQNAz">grammar formalisms</a> that have been developed in an effort to provide <a href="/facts/Linguistic_description/Hs0halB8">adequate descriptions</a> of the <a href="/facts/Syntactic_structure/6PxSV98p">syntactic structure</a> of <a href="/facts/Language/IRcTok2q">natural language</a>. </p><p>Every mildly context-sensitive grammar formalism defines a class of mildly context-sensitive grammars (the grammars that can be specified in the formalism), and therefore also a class of mildly context-sensitive languages (the <a href="/facts/Formal_language/crDTyP8q">formal languages</a> generated by the grammars). </p>
