In the context-free style of formal grammar, the ''additive'' aspect is easy enough to spot. It is signaled by the parallel covering of many augmented strings or sentential forms by the same non-terminal symbol. Expressed in active terms, this calls for the independent rewriting of that non-terminal symbol by a number of different successors, as in the following scheme: | In the context-free style of formal grammar, the ''additive'' aspect is easy enough to spot.
