  • 6.1: Syntax-Directed Translation and Attribute Grammars

    • Torben Ægidius Mogensen's "Basics of Compiler Design, Chapter 5: Interpretation" URL

      Read Chapter 5 on interpretation, where execution of a program takes place as the derivation is produced.

    • Stanford University: Keith Schwarz's "Syntax-Directed Translation" URL

      Study the definitions and examples. Syntax-directed translation and attribute grammars are techniques for using the parser to drive the translation directly. Attributes are properties of grammar symbols, and the attributes take on values. Rules associated with each grammar production specify how to compute the value of the attributes.
