You might want to try this book:


@book{WilhelmMaurer:95,
      author = {Reinhard Wilhelm and Dieter Maurer},
      title = {Compiler Design},
      year = {1995},
      publisher = {Addison-Wesley}
}


(I think there might now be a second edition).


It covers
- imperative languages
- functional programming languages
- logic programming languages
- object-oriented languages
- and a fair number of language-independent techniques
... or at least the first edition did.


Hope that helps


Ben
