2. Charm (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charm_(programming_language)

   The Charm language is defined by a context-free grammar amenable to being processed by recursive descent parser as described in seminal books on compiler design. [1] [2] A set of Charm tools including a compiler, assembler and linker was made available for Acorn's RISC OS platform. [3]

3. Context-free grammar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar

   An extended context-free grammar (or regular right part grammar) is one in which the right-hand side of the production rules is allowed to be a regular expression over the grammar's terminals and nonterminals. Extended context-free grammars describe exactly the context-free languages.

4. Context-free language - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_language

   The set of all context-free languages is identical to the set of languages accepted by pushdown automata, which makes these languages amenable to parsing.Further, for a given CFG, there is a direct way to produce a pushdown automaton for the grammar (and thereby the corresponding language), though going the other way (producing a grammar given an automaton) is not as direct.

6. Levels of adequacy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levels_of_adequacy

   A linguistic theory that aims for explanatory adequacy is concerned with the internal structure of the device [i.e. grammar]; that is, it aims to provide a principled basis, independent of any particular language, for the selection of the descriptively adequate grammar of each language. [4]

7. Grammar book - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar_book

   The earliest known grammar of a Western language is the second-century BCE Art of Grammar attributed to Dionysius Thrax, a grammar of Greek. Key stages in the history of English grammars include Ælfric of Eynsham 's composition around 995 CE of a grammar in Old English based on a compilation of two Latin grammars, Aelius Donatus 's Ars maior ...

8. Grammaticality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammaticality

   Prescriptive grammar of controlled natural languages defines grammaticality as a matter of explicit consensus. On this view, to consider a string as grammatical, it should conform with a set of norms. These norms are usually based on conventional rules that form a part of a higher or literary register for a given language.

9. Text linguistics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_linguistics

   Text linguistics is a branch of linguistics that deals with texts as communication systems.Its original aims lay in uncovering and describing text grammars.The application of text linguistics has, however, evolved from this approach to a point in which text is viewed in much broader terms that go beyond a mere extension of traditional grammar towards an entire text.
