On the generative power of transformational grammars

Information Sciences, 1973
Abstract Mathematical modeling of phrase structure grammars has yielded many results of benefit to linguists in their investigation of these grammars, such as Chomsky's characterization in terms of self-embedding of those context-free languages which are not regular.

Grammar-based program transformation

Proceedings. Conference on Software Maintenance, 1988., 1988
A grammar-based technique is introduced for making sweeping changes, involving substantial restructuring, to large-scale software programs. Pervasive structural changes are often required to make changes in data structures, computational forms, or programming style during software maintenance. The concept of a grammar-based editor is introduced.
