A context-sensitive grammar is a formal grammar such that all its rules are of the form αAβ → αγβ with nonterminal A and α and β strings of nonterminals and terminals. The name context-sensitive is explained by the α and β that form the context of A and determine whether A can be replaced with γ or not. Context sensitive languages can be accepted by linear bounded automata.
