assembly language
(gcide) | Language \Lan"guage\, n. [OE. langage, F. langage, fr. L. lingua
the tongue, hence speech, language; akin to E. tongue. See
Tongue, cf. Lingual.]
[1913 Webster]
1. Any means of conveying or communicating ideas;
specifically, human speech; the expression of ideas by the
voice; sounds, expressive of thought, articulated by the
organs of the throat and mouth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Language consists in the oral utterance of sounds which
usage has made the representatives of ideas. When two
or more persons customarily annex the same sounds to
the same ideas, the expression of these sounds by one
person communicates his ideas to another. This is the
primary sense of language, the use of which is to
communicate the thoughts of one person to another
through the organs of hearing. Articulate sounds are
represented to the eye by letters, marks, or
characters, which form words.
[1913 Webster]
2. The expression of ideas by writing, or any other
instrumentality.
[1913 Webster]
3. The forms of speech, or the methods of expressing ideas,
peculiar to a particular nation.
[1913 Webster]
4. The characteristic mode of arranging words, peculiar to an
individual speaker or writer; manner of expression; style.
[1913 Webster]
Others for language all their care express. --Pope.
[1913 Webster]
5. The inarticulate sounds by which animals inferior to man
express their feelings or their wants.
[1913 Webster]
6. The suggestion, by objects, actions, or conditions, of
ideas associated therewith; as, the language of flowers.
[1913 Webster]
There was . . . language in their very gesture.
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]
7. The vocabulary and phraseology belonging to an art or
department of knowledge; as, medical language; the
language of chemistry or theology.
[1913 Webster]
8. A race, as distinguished by its speech. [R.]
[1913 Webster]
All the people, the nations, and the languages, fell
down and worshiped the golden image. --Dan. iii. 7.
[1913 Webster]
9. Any system of symbols created for the purpose of
communicating ideas, emotions, commands, etc., between
sentient agents.
[PJC]
10. Specifically: (computers) Any set of symbols and the
rules for combining them which are used to specify to a
computer the actions that it is to take; also referred to
as a computer lanugage or programming language; as,
JAVA is a new and flexible high-level language which has
achieved popularity very rapidly.
[PJC]
Note: Computer languages are classed a low-level if each
instruction specifies only one operation of the
computer, or high-level if each instruction may specify
a complex combination of operations. Machine language
and assembly language are low-level computer
languages. FORTRAN, COBOL and C are high-level
computer languages. Other computer languages, such as
JAVA, allow even more complex combinations of low-level
operations to be performed with a single command. Many
programs, such as databases, are supplied with special
languages adapted to manipulate the objects of concern
for that specific program. These are also high-level
languages.
[PJC]
Language master, a teacher of languages. [Obs.]
Syn: Speech; tongue; idiom; dialect; phraseology; diction;
discourse; conversation; talk.
Usage: Language, Speech, Tongue, Idiom, Dialect.
Language is generic, denoting, in its most extended
use, any mode of conveying ideas; speech is the
language of articulate sounds; tongue is the
Anglo-Saxon term for language, esp. for spoken
language; as, the English tongue. Idiom denotes the
forms of construction peculiar to a particular
language; dialects are varieties of expression which
spring up in different parts of a country among people
speaking substantially the same language.

assembly language
(gcide) | assembly language \assembly language\ n.
1. (Computers) an artificial computer language with mnemonic
codes representing the basic machine-language instructions
of a computer, which can be interpreted by an assembler to
produce a computer program in machine language. Also
informally referred to as assembler.
Note: Writing a program in assembly language is very much
simpler than writing the machine instructions in binary
code, and the use of such a language greatly increases
the efficiency of the process of writing computer
programs. See also programming language, FORTRAN,
BASIC.

ASM
assembly code
(Or "assembly code") A symbolic representation of
the machine language of a specific processor. Assembly
language is converted to machine code by an assembler.
Usually, each line of assembly code produces one machine
instruction, though the use of macros is common.
Programming in assembly language is slow and error-prone but
is the only way to squeeze every last bit of performance out
of the hardware.
Filename extension: .s (Unix), .asm (CP/M and others).
See also second generation language.
