... al. (to appear), the
Strictly Piecewise (SP) languages, which make
distinctions on the basis of (potentially) discon-
tiguous subsequences, are precisely analogous to
the Strictly Local (SL) languages ... symbols occurring in w and
that P

Similar to the Strictly Local languages, Strictly
Piecewise languages are defined only in terms of

not strictly objective, but in thus saying that the
method is not wholly objective, we are not making

of the support of r).
