Well, H&S has a good formal BNF grammar (which I have used).  As for
semantics, I'd recommend ANSI.  It's close enough to finished to be
relavent, and it's the only formal (even if it is English-like) semantic
description I've ever seen of C.

H&S = "Harbison & Steele"  Available at local bookstores.
