It is shown that the class of languages generated by generalized context-free grammars (gcfg's) introduced by Pollard is exactly the class of recursively enumerable sets. Next, a subclass of gcfg's called multiple context-free grammars (mcfg's) is introduced and it is shown that the class of languages generated by mcfg's properly contains the class of context-free languages and is properly contained in the class of context-sensitive languages. In mcfg's, it is possible to account for structures involving discontinuous constituents in a particularly simple manner. Such concepts as phrase structure and derivation tree in context-free grammars (cfg's) can be extended naturally in mcfg's. Furthermore, the class of languages generated by mcfg's enjoys the formal language-theoretic closure properties that the class of context-free languages does.
