Types of language hierarchy
E. D. Pendergraft
Proceedings of the Annual meeting of the Association for Machine Translation and Computational Linguistics

Various relations lead to hierarchical systems of linguistic description. This paper considers briefly a typology of descriptive metalanguages based on such relations and sketches possible consequences for computational linguistics. Its scope is accordingly limited to metalanguages having operational interpretations which specify individual linguistic processes and structural interpretations which specify language data of individual languages. Immediate-constituent, context-free metalanguages are used to illustrate hierarchical types.
