Finite automata (both deterministic DFAs and and non-deterministic NFAs) recognize regular languages while Chomsky (a linguist) defined regular languages no natural language is regular and so their use in linguistics is limited, in computer science however regular languages (and regular expressions in particular) are widely used.

Finite automata are used in linguistics to model the structure and patterns of natural languages, particularly in phonology and morphology. They can represent the rules governing sound changes, word formation, and syntactic structures, helping linguists analyze and understand language processes. Finite automata are also utilized in natural language processing tasks such as text classification, information retrieval, and sentiment analysis.

What is the difference between deterministic finite automata and non deterministic finite automata?

A deterministic Finite Automata)DFA will have a single possible output for a given input.The answer is deterministic because you can always feel what the output will be.A (Nondeterministic Finite Automata)NFA will have at least one input which will cause a "choice" to be made during a state transition,unlike a (deterministic Finite Automata)DFA one input can cause multiple outputs for a given (Nondeterministic Finite Automata)NFA.

What is better Finite Automata or Regular Expression?

Finite Automata and Regular Expressions are equivalent. Any language that can be represented with a regular expression can be accepted by some finite automaton, and any language accepted by some finite automaton can be represented by a regular expression.


What you mean by Finite Automata?

Finite automata are machines used to recognize patterns from input set of characters. They either reject or accept inputs based on the already defined pattern set by the FA.


Define the languages accepted by NFA and DFA?

In general, finite state machines can model regular grammars. Deterministic finite automata can represent deterministic context-free grammars. Non-deterministic finite automata can represent context-free grammars.
