Noam Chomsky classified formal languages into a hierarchy consisting of 4 types based on the restrictions of their grammars. Type 0 languages are recursively enumerable and have the most unrestricted grammars. Type 1 languages are context sensitive and have production rules where the length of the right side must be greater than or equal to the left side. Type 2 languages are context free and have production rules with a single non-terminal symbol on the left side. Type 3 languages are regular and have the most restricted production rules involving terminals and non-terminals. Each type of language is recognized by an automaton with increasing computational power from finite state automata to Turing machines.

Chomsky Hierarchy Chomsky Classification of languages Noam Chomsky classified grammars and their generated languages into different types known as Chomsky Hierarchy The 4 types of languages are Type 0 language – Recursively enumerable language Type 1 language – Context sensitive language Type 2 language – Context free language Type 3 language – Regular language Chomsky Hierarchy Type 0 Languages Also known as Recursively Enumerable languages These languages are generated by type 0 grammars or unrestricted grammars(Phrase structured grammars) Their production rule is of the form α→β , α ≠ ε Where α & β are strings of terminals or non terminals These languages are recognised using Turing machine Type 1 Languages Also known as Context Sensitive languages These languages are generated by type 1 grammars or Context Sensitive grammars Their production rule is of the form α→β , α ≠ ε , | β | ≥ | α | Where α & β are strings of terminals or non terminals This language includes any strings of terminals and non terminals where length of strings on the right side must be grater than or equal to length of strings on the left side These languages are recognised using Linear Bounded automata Type 1 Grammar Ex: S→ AB A→a |Ac B→ b S→ AB S→ AcB S→ acB S→ acb Generated string is acb Type 2 Languages Also known as Context free languages These languages are generated by type 2 grammars or Context free grammars Their production rule is of the form A→α Where α is arbitrary strings of grammar symbols and left side is a single non terminal These languages are recognised using Push Down Automata(PDA) Type 3 Languages Also known as Regular languages These languages are generated by type 3 grammars or Regular grammars and described using Regular Expressions These are the most specific languages and is the smallest subset of all the languages Their production rule is of the form A→a A→a β Where β is strings of terminals or non terminals A – Non terminal a- Terminal These languages are recognised using Finite State Automata(FSA) α & β are strings of terminals or non terminals A →Strings of non terminals a→Strings of terminals Thank you!!
