    A language processor is software that bridges the gap between a program's specification and its execution. It translates a program written in a source language into a target language to address differences between the application domain, where a programmer works, and the execution domain, where a program runs. A language processor reduces development time and improves quality by handling the translation between these domains.

    1 Introduction to Language Processor

    • A language processor is a software which bridges a


    specification and execution gap.

    • Language processing activities arise due to:

    – The difference between software designer’s idea


    related to behavior of software and the manner in
    which these ideas are implemented.

    1
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • The designer expresses the ideas in terms related to the
    application domain.
    • To implement these ideas in terms related to execution
    domain.
    • The difference between the two domain termed as
    semantic gap.

    Semantic Gap

    Application Execution
    Domain Domain
    2
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • The semantic gap has many difficulties, some of the
    important ones being large development time and
    efforts, and poor quality of software.
    • These issues are tackled through the use of
    programming language (PL).
    • Software implementation using PL introduces a new
    domain as PL domain.

    3
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • Now the semantic gap is bridged by the software
    engineering steps.
    • The first step bridges gap between application domain
    and PL domain known as specification gap.
    • While the second step bridges the gap between PL
    domain and execution domain as execution gap.

    Specification Gap Execution Gap

    Application PL Execution
    Domain Domain Domain
    4
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • The specification gap is bridge by the software
    development team.
    • While the execution gap is bridged by the designer of the
    programming language processor. Like compiler or
    interpreter.
    • PL domain reduces the difficulties of semantic gap
    mentioned earlier.
    • The language processor also provides a diagnostics
    capability which detects and indicates errors in its input.
    This helps in improving the quality of the software.

    5
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • Language processor is a software which bridges a
    specification or execution gap.
    • We use term language processing to describe the
    activity performed by a language processor.
    • We refer to the program form input to a language
    processor as source program and its output as the target
    program.
    • The language in which these programs are written are
    called source language and target language.

    6
    Introduction to Language Processor
    • A range of LP is defined to meet practical requirements.
    1. A language translator bridges an execution gap to the
    machine language like assembler and compiler.
    2. A detranslator bridges the same as the language
    translator, but in the reverse manner.
    3. A preprocessor is a language processor which bridges
    an execution gap but not translator.
    4. A language migrator bridges specification gap between
    two PLs.
