Abstract

The existence of a context-sensitive grammar, G"u, which acts as a ''generator'' of all context-sensitive languages is established. Specifically, G"u has the property that for each context-sensitive language, L, there exists a regular set, R"L, and an e-limited gsm, g"L, such that L=g"L(L(G"u)@?R"L). It follows that the family of context-sensitive languages is a principal AFL. An analogous result is proved for deterministic contextsensitive languages.
