Abstract A context-free grammar is a single-tree grammar (STG) if every nonterminal symbol has at most one production rule whose right hand side contains nonterminal symbols. Various properties of this class of grammars are studied. Although most properties of STG's are undecidable, every linear STG generates a bounded language and a deterministic ...
