    Abstract

    First we give a grammatical (or equational) description of the set {M normal form │ Γ ⊢ M : A} for a given basis Γ and a given type A in the simple type system, and give some applications of the description. Then we extend the idea to systems in λ-cube and more generally to normalizing pure type systems. The attempt resulted in derived (or ‘macro’) rules the totality of which is sound and complete for type assignments of normal terms. A feature of the derived rules is that they reflect the syntactic structure of legal terms in normal form, and thus they may give us more global view than the original definition of the systems.
