Define the concept of a context-sensitive language.

A context-sensitive language is a type of formal language in automata theory that can be described by a context-sensitive grammar. It is a language where the production rules of the grammar allow for the rewriting of symbols based on the context in which they appear. In other words, the production rules can take into account the surrounding symbols and modify them accordingly. The context-sensitive languages are more expressive than regular languages and context-free languages, as they can capture more complex patterns and dependencies.
