The process of the generation of words by a generative system is considered
from a stochastic point of view involving Markov chains. Because the sequences of
intermediate words (called derivations ) by which the words are generated are finite, it
results that finite Markov chain: will be connected to the process. In this paper a very
general generative system from those constituting: the Chomsky hierarchy is considered,
frequently called a phrase-structure grammar. In Section 1 the basic definitions and
notations relating to this type of generative system and some notions relating to
Markov chains are given, according to (3) and (4) . Then, the random variable giving the
number of derivations by which a cord can be generated is defined and its characteristic
are determined according to (9) . Finally a new procedure to generate words is
introduced and the property of invariance of the transition matrix is established: also a
problem of the "reflecting harriers" type is discussed.
