Abstract
At the present time the subject of extensible languages appears to suffer from the lack of any central coherent framework to knit together the many pieces of individual work that are being done. This paper is an attempt, therefore, to fill that lack.
What appears to be required is some central conceptual model or paradigm of languages and language extensibility onto which framework we can hang all these pieces of work.
This paper, therefore, contains of four main points:-
* The description of a very simple model of formal machine languages and their operation.
* A discussion of the generality of this model.
* A discussion of the usefulness of this model for the study of extensible languages.
* An illustration of the application of the model by reference to an on-going implementation at the IBM (UK) Scientific Centre.

Extensible language
Encyclopedia of Computer ScienceAn extensible (programming) language allows the user to enrich the language by introducing new features or by modifying existing ones. A language is called extensible if the new features can be made to resemble the built-in language constructs. ...
