The theoretical underpinning is established through a least fixpoint construction over a certain monotonic function. In order to reach a finite fixpoint, the concrete implementation can be parameterized in several ways, either by specifying a finite iteration depth, by using different restrictors, or by making the symbols of the CFG more complex adding annotations à la GPSG. We also present several methods that speed up the approximation process and help to limit the size of the resulting CF grammar.} }
