I remember that discussion from the publisher website where that guy was 
asking: "Does this really teach us how to create a language?".
After that question I started to ask myself the same question, as the 
book isn't exactly what it sounds.

I would go with something with "Language Recognition Patterns" or 
"Language Parsing Patterns". Yes, its not as catchy as "Design 
Patterns", but the book isn't really about designing languages anyway. 
Also, it relates to ANTLR and what it does without adding "ANTLR" to the 
title, as you don't want it to be tool specific.

I don't think that DSL should go anywhere in the title or subtitle, 
since the techniques there can be applied to anything.
