Abstract
This paper presents some new results concerning the descriptional complexity of partially parallel grammars. Specifically, it proves that every recursively enumerable language is generated (i) by a four-nonterminal scattered context grammar with no more than four non-context-free productions, (ii) by a two-nonterminal multisequential grammar with no more than two selectors, or (iii) by a three-nonterminalmulticontinuous grammar with no more than two selectors.
