Abstract
By generalizing the Church-Rosser languages the McNaughton families of languages are obtained. Here we concentrate on those families that are defined by monadic or special string-rewriting systems. We investigate the relationship of these families to each other and to the lower classes of the Chomsky hierarchy and present some closure and some non-closure properties for them. Moreover, we address some complexity issues for their membership problems.
