The grammatical rules of an affix grammar are those of a context-free grammar, except that certain parts in the nonterminals (the affixes) are used as arguments. If the same affix occurs multiple times in a rule, its value must agree, i.e. it must be the same everywhere. In some types of affix grammar, more complex relationships between affix values are possible. 2, record 1, English, - affix%20grammar

Les règles d’une grammaire affixe ressemblent à celles de grammaires non-contextuelles, dont les noms-de-notion (ou non-terminaux) seraient paramétrés. Ces paramètres appelés affixes permettent de doter ces notions de modalités. Leur nom s’inspire de la linguistique, où des modalités peuvent régir les affixes (préfixes, infixes ou suffixes). 2, record 1, French, - grammaire%20affixe

L-systems ... allow the definition of complex shapes through the use of iteration. They use a mathematical language in which an initial string of characters is matched against rules which are evaluated repeatedly, and the results are used to generate geometry. The result of each evaluation becomes the basis for the next iteration of geometry, giving the illusion of growth. 4, record 4, English, - Lindenmayer%2Dsystem
