My view is not restricted to classical programming languages. I am interested in formal languages that are used for manipulating things in general. I would like to argue that a language is a structure used for describing combinations of actions and objects. This definition includes Pascal as well as menu systems. The important notion underlying the definition is that of combination. Good language design is the process of combining features into an itegrated whole. A good example is Pascal/R, which introduces the concept of relation into Pascal as a data type. Another example, ARGUS, adds the notion of a database transaction to CLU.
