Abstract: We define rank-two and higher rank words and symbolic shifts, extending the notion of rank-one symbolic shifts of Gao and Hill. We construct infinite words of each finite rank, of infinite rank, and show there exist unranked words. We consider words generated by substitution schemes and give explicit conditions for the word to be at most rank-two and not rank-one. We also study shift systems associated with infinite words, including those associated to Sturmian sequences, which we show are rank-two.
