I'm looking for Lisp grammar. It may be in one of 2 following forms:
1. As a YACC file (preferrable)
2. In the BNF (Backus Naur Form)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Yakov.

why do you need this? maybe YACC/BNF is not the best solution to your
problem. btw, I haven't seen any such grammars.

At its most basic :)
SYMBOL ::= ...
NUMBER ::= ...
STRING ::= ...
CONS ::= (EXPRESSION . EXPRESSION)
EXPRESSION ::= SYMBOL | NUMBER | STRING | CONS | ()

Look for John Allen's _Anatomy of LISP_ (1978, McGraw-Hill; ISBN 0-07-001115-X)
which has a BNF grammar (roughly 8 lines) and discusses the semantics thereof
for roughly 400 pages.
You can also see pp. 8-9 of _LISP 1.5 Programmer's Manual_ (2nd ed. 1965, MIT
Press, ISBN 0 262 13011 4).

Rich Alderson You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
what not.
