Here are some references:
Programming Language Concepts and Paradigms
David A. Watt
Programming Languages: Design and Implementation
Terrence W. Pratt and Marvin V. Zelkowitz
Principles of Programming Languages
R.D. Tennent
Programming Language Structures
Carlo Ghezzi and Mehdi Jazayeri
Although they're a bit heavy on the theory, you might also want to take
a look at:
Introduction to the Theory of Programming Languages
Bertrand Meyer
The Denotational Description of Programming Languages
Michael Gordon
The Meyer book contains a good description of the meaning of assignment.
Hope that helps,
Matt
