We introduce here objects which appear naturally in the study of the syntactic monoids of non rational languages: the pairs consisting of a monoid together with a distinguished subset. Elementary properties of syntactic monoids are derived from theorems of universal algebra on the objects. Monoids with a distinguished subset define an equivalence relationship on formal languages: the classes of rational and context-free languages are considered with respect to this equivalence relationship. Eilenberg's theorem of varieties is expressed within this framework.
