Language Complexity

In the following paper that I posted recently to LingBuzz (http://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/@uzQLvqVFGomVJRWR/aCpQCltn?253), one of the points I try to make is that a language can be non-finite with a finite grammar, something that I believe has been largely overlooked via attempts to reduce discussions of language complexity to sentence grammars.

If anyone is inclined to read that paper and knows of any similar examples, I would be pleased to learn of them.

Sincerely,

Dan Everett
