Some definitions about languages

A language consists of a structure definition (called abstract syntax or meta model), a definition of the notation (also called concrete syntax) and semantics. In semantics we distinguish between the static semantics (constraints, typesystem) and the operational semantics (what something means as it is executed).

Synthax versus Semantic

The synthax defines the correctness of a sequence of characters without meaning. Semantic defines the meaning of this sequence of characters.
Example: 34 + 6 = 100 ist syntactic correct but semantic wrong.
