Abstract

We have seen the definitions of Finite State Automata (FSA) and of Push-Down Automata (PDA) in Chapter 1. The former accept all regular languages while the latter accept all context-free languages. In this chapter, we present automaton models for different extensions of CFG, in particular for TAG and LCFRS.
