- ...grammars
- Noam Chomsky, a Professor at MIT, is a world-renowned linguist, philosopher and
social activist with over 800 publications. Invented by Chomsky in
1956, Chomsky grammar[&make_named_href('',
"node22.html#Chom56","[Chom56]")] is originally a formalism to describe
the syntactic features of
natural
languages, in which the production rules(grammar rules) are applied
sequentially to the input strings(language sentences) to generate
more and more complicated strings(language sentences).
Chomsky grammar now has great practical importance in the design of
the compilers for programming languages.
