These are pretty much standard terminology.

For reference take a look at

http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/palsberg/cs352/F00/

The reason I picked that site is because 

Book: Andrew W. Appel, Modern Compiler Implementation in Java, Cambridge
University Press, 1998, 0-521-58388-8.

is very down to earth and at a gut level.

Anyway that should give you enough of a starting point.
