1 Introduction to Formal Languages Martin Fränzle Informatics and Mathematical Modelling The Technical University of Denmark Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.1/16
2 Formal Languages What is it? Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.2/16
3 (Formal) Languages A language is a set of legal sentences Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.3/16
4 (Formal) Languages A language is a set of legal sentences. A sentence is a sequence of symbols. The symbols can be characters, words punctuation, hieroglyphs, dots and dashes (Morse code), Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.3/16
5 (Formal) Languages A language is a set of legal sentences. A sentence is a sequence of symbols. The symbols can be characters, words punctuation, hieroglyphs, dots and dashes (Morse code), A formal language is a language defined by a finite set of unambiguous rules delimiting the legal sentences from the illegal ones Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.3/16
6 Why are they interesting? Because formal languages arise everywhere in computing: Programming languages, query languages, etc. The inputs expected by programs: inputs to be keyed in, e.g. numbers in certain format, names, etc. sequences of button clicks in a GUI. Protocols for data exchange between computers (e.g. SMTP) Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.4/16
7 Why are they interesting? Because formal languages arise everywhere in computing: Programming languages, query languages, etc. The inputs expected by programs: inputs to be keyed in, e.g. numbers in certain format, names, etc. sequences of button clicks in a GUI. Protocols for data exchange between computers (e.g. SMTP) Knowledge of their algorithmic properties permits automatic generation of programs for their manipulation Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.4/16
8 Some means of defining formal languages A finite and unambiguous set of rules can be given by 1. a computer with finite memory such that the whole machine can be described finitely, Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.5/16
9 Some means of defining formal languages A finite and unambiguous set of rules can be given by 1. a computer with finite memory such that the whole machine can be described finitely, 2. a finite set of recursive definitions of the form if is a natural number then is an arithmetic expression,, if and are arithmetic expressions then is an arithmetic expression, Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.5/16
10 Some means of defining formal languages A finite and unambiguous set of rules can be given by 1. a computer with finite memory such that the whole machine can be described finitely, 2. a finite set of recursive definitions of the form if is a natural number then is an arithmetic expression,, if and are arithmetic expressions then is an arithmetic expression, Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.5/16
11 Some means of defining formal languages A finite and unambiguous set of rules can be given by 1. a computer with finite memory such that the whole machine can be described finitely, Regular languages 2. a finite set of recursive definitions of the form if is a natural number then is an arithmetic expression,, if and are arithmetic expressions then is an arithmetic expression, Context-free languages Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.5/16
12 Regular languages: Application domains Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.6/16
13 Regular languages arise naturally in descriptions of hardware components, descriptions of communication protocols, word classification problems, e.g.: is the next word a hyperlink, or is it to be rendered as text? descriptions of embedded computer systems, Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.7/16
14 Regular languages arise naturally in descriptions of hardware components, because these are computational devices with finite memory, descriptions of communication protocols, because these engage into an alternation of finitely many different phases, word classification problems, e.g.: is the next word a hyperlink, or is it to be rendered as text? descriptions of embedded computer systems, because these are computers with finite memory Languages and Parsing, MF, Fall 2003 p.7/16
