For lexico/syntaxic analysis, any introduction book to language theory
will help you. You have first to study grammars and/or automatons. This
is the first base. Try :


    1.An Introduction to formal
      language theory - Moll,
      Robert N. - Springer -
      1988


after this, you could study a standard tool of lexico/synatxic analysis.
You can find it in:


  2. LEX and YACC - Levine,
      John R. - 2nd ed. -
      O'Reilly & Associates -
      1992


About code generation, you have first to well study semantic analysis:
dragon book is the best one if you are looking for basis.


hope that this will help you. Have good hollydays with LR grammars :-).
