    used in the definition of programming languages. The highlight of the book is the demonstration of how to use W-grammars (double level grammars) in defining not only the syntax but also the complete semantics of a simple programming language named ASPLE. Subsequently, ASPLE has been used by numerous authors for illustrating various techniques in defining the semantics of programming languages.
