Speaking of context-free (and maybe regular? or just any?) languages, what do you call a function defined as follows:
Let $\Sigma$ be the alphabet of $L$, $\forall \sigma \in \Sigma: f(\sigma) = L'$, where $L'$ is some language. I also met this definition: $f:\Sigma \to 2^{\Delta^*}$.
The reason I'm asking this is because I study in a language which is even more foreign to me than English, and it's hard to find what the terminology in the book means. I've only encountered this in connection to context-free languages, but since I don't really know what I'm looking at, I can't tell if that's something specific to them (my guess though is that it's not).
In the book I'm reading from, (which also happens to be in Hebrew) the word used to describe this concept is "הצבה", literally meaning "substitution" or "positioning", "fixing something in place".
