Chomsky hierarchy: Figure ChomskyOverview

Figure ChomskyOverview: The Chomsky hierarchy consists of four classes of languages (i.e., Unrestricted, Context Sensitive, Context Free, and Regular), each defined by a class of grammars. Chomsky introduced and considered these language classes as possible models of natural language. Grammars specify how the strings in a language can be generated. Grammars are finite representations of formal languages. In this chapter we describe four broad categories of grammars and corresponding ... The Chomsky Hierarchy is defined as a hierarchy of four levels of formal languages, each with its own set of properties and characteristics. The hierarchy is significant because it provides a framework for understanding the complexity of languages and the capabilities of machines that process them. Developed by Noam Chomsky, the hierarchy classifies formal grammars into four types, providing a framework to understand language complexity and computational power. We have defined and explained Chomsky Hierarchy which orders the different languages in Theory of Computation. It is also known as Chomsky Schutzenberger Hierarchy.
