This means that every formal language that can be decided by such a machine is a context-sensitive language, and every context-sensitive language can be decided by such a machine.
The complement of a context-sensitive language is context-sensitive.
Each category of languages or grammars is a proper superset of the category directly beneath it.

Parsing of Context Free and Context Sensitive Grammars
Context free languages like regular sets are of great importance in defining programming languages, in formalizing the notion of parsing and in other string processing applications.
A context free language is defined by a context free grammar.

L(G) is the notation for a language defined by a grammar G. The grammar G recognizes a certain set of strings, thus a language.
Since a language is a set of strings from a finite alphabet, a class of languages is a set of sets.
The language class P is the set of languages for which there exists a deterministic Turing machine that accepts each language in a number of transitions bounded by a fixed polynomial in the length of the input string.

 Context free grammar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
For instance, given a context-free grammar, one can use the Chomsky Normal Form toconstruct a polynomial-time algorithm which decides whether a given string is in the language represented by that grammar or not(the CYK algorithm).
An alternative and equivalent definition of context-free languages employs non-deterministic push-down automata : a language is context-free if and only if it canbe accepted by such an automaton.
To prove that a given language is not context-free, one employs the pumping lemma for context-free languages.

 Context Free and Context Sensitive Languages
Most agree that language is a static system, where words are part of a lexicon that is assumed to be context free and static — that is, it is a data structure that exists independently of it’s use.
The SCN that was used for the Context Sensitive Language (CSL) had three input and three output units, with two hidden units.
The first aimed to show that the BRN could learn a language and demonstrate the inverse correlation between word frequency and recognition time that is a characteristic of human behaviour.

It is well-known that the class of context-sensitive languages (CSL) coincides with the nondeterministic space complexity class NSPACE(n), and that there exist context-sensitive languages for which the membership problem is PSPACE-complete.
Dahlhaus and Warmuth prove that all growing context-sensitive languages (GCSL), that is, the languages that are generated by growing context-sensitive grammars, have membership problems that are solvable in polynomial time.
From the definition it might appear that GCSL is not an interesting class of languages, but as shown in [ Buntrock & Lorys, 1992] GCSL is an abstract family of languages, that is, this class of languages is closed under union, concatenation, iteration, intersection with regular languages, epsilon-free homomorphisms and inverse homomorphisms.

Languages are categorized (as a first cut) as follows from the simplest
Roughly one can characterize the difference between regular and context-free languages as context-free languages require some sort of recursion or stack based data structure to facilitate their recognition.
It so happens that languages have been designed in such a way that this two step division can also be made to use the two different kinds of languages.

 A Hierarchy of Formal Languages and Automata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
A language is recursive on a given alphabet if there’s a Turing machine that accepts the language and halts on every string in the alphabet (but not the empty string, remember).
Since we have an algorithm to determine what language the word is in, the language is recursive as well as recursively enumerable.
Theorem 11.5 establishes that the family of recursive languages is a proper subset of the family of recursively enumerable languages, not a surprising fact given the previous theorems.

Abstract: The growing context-sensitive languages have been classified through the shrinking twopushdown automaton, the deterministic version of which characterizes the class of generalized Church-Rosser languages (Buntrock and Otto 1995).
Exploiting this characterization we prove that this latter class coincides with the class of Church-Rosser languages that was introduced by McNaughton, Narendran, and Otto (1988).

A formal language is context-free if thereis a context-free grammar that generates it.
Context-free grammars are powerful enough to describe the syntax of programming languages ; in fact, the syntax of most programming languages are specified with the helpof context-free grammars.
On the other hand, context-free grammars are simple enough to allow the construction of efficient parsing algorithms which, for a given string, determine whether and how it can be generated from the grammar.

However, there has been little attempt to develop a systematic and comprehensive hierarchy of visual languages based on their formal properties that could parallel the role of the Chomsky hierarchy in the field of visual languages.
In this article we present such a hierarchy for visual languages and investigate the expressiveness and cost of parsing for the classes in the hierarcy.
In contrast to formal language theory for textual languages, where the main distinction is that between context-sensitive languages and context-free languages, it is therefore necessary to build the major part of a visual language hierarchy around different forms of context-sensitivity.

This is different from a context-free grammar where the context of a nonterminal is not taken into consideration.
A formal language that can be described by a context-sensitive grammar is called a context-sensitive language.
The concept of context-sensitive grammar was introduced by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s as a way to describe the syntax of natural language where it is indeed often the case that a word may or may not be appropriate in a certain place depending upon the context.

 Abstract
Context sensitive rewrite grammars are syntactically, semantically and computationally unattractive.
Generating grammars have a collection of nice properties that ensure they define only `mildly context sensitive' languages, and Joshi has proposed that human languages have those properties too.
Some results relevant to the viability of mildly context sensitive analyses and some open questions are reviewed.

The complexity of the language generated by a grammar depends crucially on whether the position valuation is steady or not.
On the other hand, for every steady position valuation, the class of languages generated corresponds to a level of the hierarchy of exponential time-bounded languages in CSL.
The hierarchy of exponential time-bounded languages in CSL collapses.

A context-sensitive language is a language generated by a context-sensitive grammar.
It can be shown that the two kinds of grammars are almost equivalent (generate the same languages) with one exception: one kind of grammar permits languages to contain the empty string, while the other doesn't.
A language L is context-sensitive if there exists a context-sensitive grammar G such that either L = L(G) or L = L(G) Notice how this definition carefully sidesteps the question of which kind of context-sensitive grammar is meant.

 Context-sensitive traces of infinite graphs
The well-known Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages can be extended to a hierarchy of (infinite) graphs by considering the trace languages of graphs.
The first and smallest element of the Chomsky hierarchy is the family of rational languages, which are the traces of finite graphs, also viewed as finite automata.
Recently, Morvan defined the family of rational graphs, and showed that their traces are the context-sensitive languages, and Caucal introduced the transition graphs of Turing machines, whose traces are, quite naturally, the recursively enumerable languages.

 Context-Sensitive and Dynamic Customization of Component-Based Systems
It is important to understand that due to the Internet success, an on-line service is at the same time used by hundreds or even thousands of simultaneously requesting client systems, where each client system may have different - possibly conflicting - preferences about how the service must be customized to their needs.
Context is reified by contextual properties which stem from the clients or configurator/deployer of that system.
The underlying programming language or middleware platform must implement a method dispatch mechanism that supports a run-time combination of wrappers on a per collaboration basis, while taking the contextual properties into account.

 A Visual Environment for Developing Context-Sensitive Term Rewriting Systems | Lambda the Ultimate
CINNI is a first-order calculus of extreme simplicity that can serve as a generic basis for representing and implementing higher-order languages in a first-order framework.
More precisely, CINNI should not be regarded as a single calculus but merely as a family of calculi that is parameterized by syntax of the language to be represented.
We think that CINNI is a suitable basis to deal with the problem of binding and substitution in implementations of logics and other languages, in particular those of higher-order nature.
