Dans les machines symboliques, on retrouve ces deux étapes : la première phase n’ est qu'un prétraitement. Il en résulte un langage machine intermédiaire, directement traduit par un interpréteur micro-programmé. Ce dernier spécialise le processeur dans l'exécution du langage de haut niveau de départ, Lisp par exemple. On obtient alors une machine-Lisp. 2, record 4, French, - interpr%C3%A8te%20microprogramm%C3%A9
