چکیده

Let A be a finite, totally ordered alphabet, and let P be the lexicographic ordering on A*. Let X be a subset of A*. The language of minimal words of X is the subset of X composed of the lexicographically minimal word of X for each length: Min(X)=[x # X | \w # X, |w|=|x| O xPw]. The aim of this paper is to prove that if L is a context-free language, then the language Min(L) context-free. ] 1997

First Language Activation during Second Language Lexical Processing in a Sentential Context

On Non-overlapping Words

Let Q be the set of all primitive words over a finite alphabet having at least two letters. In this paper, we study the language D(1) of all non-overlapping (d-primitive) words, which is a proper subset of Q. We show that D(1) is a contextsensitive langauage but not a deterministic context-free language. Further it is shown that [D(1)]n is not regular for n ≥ 1. key words: primitive word, non-o...
