      abstract = {Providing a concise introduction to the essential concepts  in programming languages, using techniques from operational  semantics, this book highlights three major programming  paradigms: - Imperative languages: the main features of  these languages are illustrated with examples in Java,  Python, C; - Functional languages: modern languages such as  ML and Haskell are used to describe the functional style of  programming; - Logic languages: the last part of the book  gives an overview of logic programming using Prolog.  Following a general description of each family of  languages, their semantics are studied using abstract  machines and structural operational semantics. Programming  Languages and Operational Semantics gives an in-depth  analysis of the basic concepts in programming languages  instead of a mere survey of languages, assisting the  understanding of the fundamental notions in programming  languages over simply describing their properties. It is  addressed to undergraduate students, as a complement to  programming courses.},
