Summary: We define the class of sofic-Dyck shifts which extends the class of Markov-Dyck shifts introduced by Krieger and Matsumoto. The class of sofic-Dyck shifts is a particular class of shifts of sequences whose finite factors are unambiguous context-free languages. We show that it corresponds exactly to shifts of sequences whose set of factors is a visibly pushdown language. We give an expression of the zeta function of a sofic-Dyck shift which has a deterministic presentation.
