Popis: We study the context-free languages recognized by a groupoid G in terms of the algebraic properties of the multiplication monoid ω(G) of G. Concentrating on the case where ω(G) is group-free, we show that all regular languages can be recognized by groupoids for which M(G) is -trivial of threshold 2 and that all groupoids for which ω(G) belongs to the larger variety DA recognize only regular languages. Further, we give an example of a groupoid such that ω(G) is in the smallest variety outside of DA, and which recognizes all context-free languages not containing the empty word.
