ABSTRACT	Many languages have been designed to date, of which a large number have never been implemented and the majority are specified in a very imprecise manner. For a language to receive serious consideration among the computer science community, it generally must have been implemented after its design. However, it is the matter of a precise definition which is often forgotten or ignored and yet it is one of the most important aspects of a language when considered in the context of the evolution of programming languages. The language definition is the vehicle by which the rules regarding syntax and semantics are clearly stated and conveyed. It allows for the comparison of languages independent of any implementation or machine architecture. Furthermore, by employing techniques with a formal basis, it is also possible to use the language definition as the source for the automatic generation of a language implementation. This strongly suggests that language designers should precisely define thei...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
