Abstract

We investigate different sets of operations on languages which result in corresponding algebraic structures, viz. in different types of full AFL’s (full Abstract Family of Languages). By iterating control on ETOL-systems we show that there exists an infinite sequence C_m(m⩾1) of classes of such algebraic structures (full AFL-structures): each class is a proper superset of the next class (C_m ⊃ C_{m +1}). In turn each class C_m contains a countably infinite hierarchy, i.e. a countably infinite chain of language families K_m,n (n⩾1) such that (i) each K_m,n is closed under the operations that determine C m and (ii) each K m,n is properly included in the next one: K_m,n ⊂ K_m,n+1.
