I don't know about a complete grammar for Smalltalk, but the book
Little Smalltalk by Timothy Budd contains syntax diagrams for his
Smalltalk dialect. The book also describes his implementation of
Smalltalk.


You can download the book from this website:

It's the third book from the top. The syntax charts are in appendix 2.
Some of the other books might include a complete grammar but I haven't
read any of them.


Merry Christmas,


Peter
