All this subthread is fairly confusing because people are using the term "recursive" in a non-stardard way. Recursive languages are the languages decidable by a Turing machine. They're a strict superset of regular languages, i.e., not all regular languages can be described by regular grammars, but all regular grammars describe recursive languages.

Now, some regular grammars are left-recursive or right-recursive, which means sometimes the same symbol appears on both sides of a rule. It doesn't mean they the have the power of full recursion that we find in full-blown programming languages, since they don't have the equivalent of a stack.
