ABSTRACT	This paper is a contribution to the ongoing quest for modular descriptions of language processors, with the specific aim of rapidly prototyping domain-specific languages [21]. Some might argue that this problem was solved in the eighties, with the development of a proliferation of language processors based on attribute grammars [11, 15, 22]. Others might argue that functional programming languages such as ML are adequate for the purpose, without any further extensions. We believe that functional programming languages do not o#er enough specialised support for implementing compilers. However, attribute grammars are not in widespread use, despite their many advantages. This may be due to restrictions imposed by attribute definition languages, which are often less flexible than general purpose functional programming languages. Such general languages tend to yield descriptions that are compact, but they lack the dedicated structuring mechanisms of attribute grammars.	user correction - Legacy Corrections
