Chomsky Normal Form (CNF) is a standardized way to represent Context-Free Grammars (CFGs), crucial in Formal Language Theory and computational linguistics. It ensures all production rules are in a simple A → BC or A → a format, which significantly simplifies the design of parsing algorithms and theoretical analysis of grammar properties. Understanding CNF is fundamental for anyone studying language processing or compiler design.
