	Phrase-Structure Grammars and the Chomsky Hierarchy
		The families of languages generated by the grammars in the Chomsky hierarchy form an inclusive hierarchy that may be represented as
		A Normal Form for a given type or class of grammar is a grammar with specified additional conditions imposed upon its productions, but which is equivalent to the grammars in the given type.
		In the foregoinging examples, the nonterminal symbols in the normal form grammar are already in the nonterminal vocabulary of the original grammar.

		Chomsky Normal Form is used by the CYK algorithm to determine if a string is accepted by a Context Free Grammar.
		Step 4) in the overall grammar "simplification" process is to convert the grammar to Chomsky Normal Form.
		Giving the reduced Chomsky Normal Form: S -> SF F -> AS S -> a A -> CG G -> CA C -> b A -> SS A -> CS For a computer generated reduction, a different naming convention was chosen (to aid in debugging).

	Intellectual Conservative Politics and Philosophy » Noam Chomsky and the Little Green Men
		Chomsky is just one figure in a soon to be long line of exposed charlatan pseudo intellectuals prevalant among the left.
		Chomsky became the respected intellect he is today via strong, verifiable science and rigorous academic discipline, and you guys hate him for it.
		The Chomsky Normal Form is based on the Chomsky Heirarchy and “many proofs in the field of languages and computability make use of the Chomsky normal form”.

	The Chomsky Hierarchy of formal grammars
		The languages defined by Type 2 grammars are accepted by push-down automata; the syntax of natural languages is definable almost entirely in terms of context-free languages and the tree structures generated by them.
		Chomsky Normal Form or Greibach Normal Form, into which any CFG can be equivalently converted; they represent optimisations for particular types of processing.
		The languages defined by Type 3 grammars are accepted by finite state automata; morphological structure and perhaps all the syntax of informal spoken dialogue is describable by regular grammars.

		Once this is accomplished, a similar form of rechaining eliminates all instances of self-reference on the left.
		Assume a context free grammar is grounded and connected, and convert it to chomsky normal form, which is also greibach intermediate.
		The language is the same, and the grammar is in greibach normal form.

		In this form the right side of every production is either two variables or one terminal symbol.
		w is of the form a^i b^i or w is of the form b^i a^i}
		S can become T or U. T can create anything of the form a^i b^i because each time you use the first production you add an "a" to the beginning and a "b" to the end (eventually we use the epsilon transition to end the derivation).

	Language Theory
		Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) uses a series of intermediate tokens to describe syntax rules.
		The translation may contain terminal symbols, which are the tokens in the language's alphabet, or it may contain intermediate symbols, or it may contain a combination of the two.
		The only way CNF can be used to define a grammar that can create sentences of arbitrary length is to allow a symbol to appear in its own expansion rules.

		Convert to Chomsky normal form (L -> MN, or L -> x).
		Show every CFG can be rewritten using only productions of the forms A -> aBC or A -> l where l = lambda and a in Sigma or a = lambda.
		Thus strings of the form abba are also accepted and L = L(a, abba).

	Notations for context-free grammars: BNF, Syntax Diagrams, EBNF
		Knuth's letter (which you may be able to access via ACM) is interesting to read, as it indicates exactly what he thought the importance concepts in BNF were.
		He also points out that BNF is not a "Normal Form", which would imply there were some restrictions on how a grammar could be written down, as in e.g.
		The form of BNF used is essentially that accepted by yacc/bison.)

	Normal form for SCFGs
		Any CFG or SCFG can be converted into one in CNF which generates exactly the same language, each of the sentences with exactly the same probability, and for which any parse in the original grammar would be reconstructible from a parse in the CNF grammar.
		In fact, our algorithm generalizes straightforwardly to the more general Canonical Two-Form [Graham et al.1980] format, and in the case of bigrams (n = 2) it can even be modified to work directly for arbitrary SCFGs.
		Still, the CNF form is convenient, and to keep the exposition simple we assume all SCFGs to be in CNF.

		But, this is two different forms, which would require two separate cases to be consider when we do our proofs ;->, surely it would be better if we could restrict the grammars to just one case!
		That is, all those productions where the variable on the left-hand side (LHS) is also the leftmost variable on the RHS (w can be any mixture of terminals and variables--although when we use this rule, we will only have variables there).
		Hmmm, we don't have much better reason to know when or why to use this (except that you might note that is moving left-recursion [in the operation of the grammar] in favor of right-recursion...) rule than we did the last rule.
