摘要

This paper is a survey on the equational descriptions of languages. The first part is devoted to Birkhoff%26apos;s and Reiterman%26apos;s theorems on equational descriptions of varieties. Eilenberg%26apos;s variety theorem and its successive generalizations form the second part. The more recent results on equational descriptions of lattices of languages are presented in the third part of the paper.
