, Σ, S, 
, we can assume without loss of generality that its instructions have two possible forms: A → a, where a 
Σ ∪ {
}, and A → X1 X2 · · · Xn—the right hand side being a string of Xi, each of which is a nonterminal.
Indeed, if G does not already have the desired rule structure, we add new nonterminals, Y(a), one for each a Σ. We then replace each rule A → α—where α contains at least one nonterminal—with A → α′, where α′ is the result of replacing each a occurring in α (a Σ) by Y(a). Finally, we add the rules ...
