Abstract: Models for programming languages play an important role for studying properties of programming languages. Based on the concept of language abstraction and under an algebraic model for programming languages we build, this paper presents the semantics of three kinds of relation between languages, i.e. inheritance, extension and shielding. Then the paper proposes a model of language family which is constructed under the three kinds of relation. This model can be a theoretical basis for researching relations between languages and model oriented transformational software development methodology.

Key words: programming language, language abstraction, language family model

摘要: 程序设计语言的模型对于研究语言的性质具有重要作用。基于语言的抽象这一概念,在建立的语言之代数模型下,给出了程序设计语言间的3种关系:继承、扩充、屏蔽的语义,并提出了在这3种关系下构成的语言族模型,作为研究语言间的关系和面向模型的变换型软件开发方法的一种理论基础。
