PigLatin formal grammar specification

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question, but is there a link/paper that formally 
shows PigLatin's grammar/formal language definition? 

Thanks,
Kristi

We don't have a BNF for Pig Latin yet.  We have an informal  
description of the language at http://wiki.apache.org/pig/PigLatin,  
or you can read the javacc specification at http://svn.apache.org/ 
viewvc/incubator/pig/trunk/src/org/apache/pig/impl/logicalLayer/ 
parser/QueryParser.jjt?view=log
