Abstract

Among the formalisms used for the definition of programming languages, context-free grammars are widely and satisfactorily used, but their power is limited. Augmented with attributes they can express context sensitive aspects of a language. In this paper a subset of Algol 68 is described by an attribute-grammar. This is done in a way which suggests that the attribute point of view may also help reading and writing W-grammars.
