Abstract: We consider the naive bottom-up concatenation scheme for a context-free language and show that this scheme has the incremental polynomial time property. This means that all members of the language can be enumerated without duplicates so that the time between two consecutive outputs is bounded by a polynomial in the number of strings already generated.
