Formal Languages in Theory and Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

ESSLLI 2019<\/a> course
\nweek 2, 11:00 \u2013 12:30<\/p>\n

Central concepts in theoretical linguistics like “phrase structure” are derived from formal language theory. A theory that at the same time provides the theoretical foundations of computation. The course introduces formal languages, grammars and automatons and discusses the question of the structural complexity of natural languages.<\/p>\n

The following topics will be covered by the course: modeling natural languages as formal languages, the Chomsky hierarchy and the properties of its language classes, grammars and automatons for language generation and acceptance, and decision problems and the notion of reducibility. At the end of the course the participants will know the fundamental concepts of formal language theory, the central results and the basic proof techniques. They will gain the necessary methods to dive deeper into the subject by self-study.<\/p>\n
