Abstract

We propose a lattice framework for analyzing context-free grammars and context-free languages. This framework is motivated by a technique for simplifying parsers with information derived from the associated scanners. We define the lattice framework and demonstrate it using additional applications, including data-flow analysis. Soundness and other properties of the lattice framework are also discussed.
