Relations of contextual grammars with strictly locally testable selection languages

We continue the research on the generative capacity of contextual grammars where contexts are adjoined around whole words (externally) or around subwords (internally) which belong to special regular selection languages. All languages generated by contextual grammars where all selection languages are elements of a certain subregular language family form again a language family. We investigate the computational capacity of contextual grammars with strictly locally testable selection languages and compare those families to families which are based on finite, monoidal, nilpotent, combinational, definite, suffix-closed, ordered, commutative, circular, non-counting, power-separating, or union-free languages. With these results, also an open problem regarding ordered and non-counting selection languages is solved.
