"The description of language in terms of its structure and form, focusing on syntax rather than function and meaning is referred to as grammar. Formal grammar specifically deals with how strings are formed from a language's alphabet according to its syntax rules. It comprises a set of rules used to determine the validity of strings of tokens in a language. Additionally, formal grammar is utilized to generate all possible syntactically correct strings over the language's alphabet. It is studied within the domain of applied mathematics, particularly under formal language theory. Applications of formal grammar span mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, theoretical linguistics, formal semantics, and various other fields. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of formal grammar. The topics covered here in deal with the core aspects of this area. It will also serve as a reference guide for students and academicians." -- Back cover Formalization (linguistics). Grammar, comparative and general.
