摘要: A generalization of ranked alphabets, many-sorted is studied. The concepts finite automaton, regular, recognizable, equational, and context free languages are generalized to sets over these new alphabets. It shown that the derivation trees a set always characterized by some recognizable related alphabet. Previous theory drawn as special case results advanced. number suggestions about language made.
