Definition
Mild context-sensitivity is defined in terms of sets of languages. A set of languages is mildly context-sensitive if and only if
- it contains all context-free languages,
- it admits limited cross-serial dependencies,
- all the languages are parsable in polynomial time, and
- all the languages have constant growth; this means that the distribution of string lengths should be linear rather than supralinear. This is often guaranteed by proving a pumping lemma for some class of mildly context-sensitive languages.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Was man made stupid to see his own stupidity?
Is God by definition indifferent, beyond us all?
Is the eternal truth man’s fighting soul
Wherein the Beast ravens in its own avidity?”
—Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
