Right-linear finite state grammars were extracted for song sequences of Savannah Sparrows (Passerculus sandwichensis) from Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia grammar was found to be longer than the Ontario grammar (possess more rewrite statements) and allow for the production of sequences containing consecutive trills. These differences are discussed with respect to genetic and environmental factors shaping song behaviour in the two regions. Limitations of a nonstochastic finite state grammar procedure are also addressed.
从安大略省和新斯科舍省的 Savannah 雀（Passerculus sandwichensis）的歌曲序列中提取了右线性有限状态语法。发现新斯科舍省的语法比安大略省的语法更长（拥有更多的重写语句），并且允许生成包含连续颤音的序列。针对塑造这两个地区歌曲行为的遗传和环境因素，对这些差异进行了讨论。还讨论了非随机有限状态语法程序的局限性。
