No, of course not, but there's overlap between the disciplines with things like "what function does this reserved word serve" and "what style or syntax is needed here to convey the following instruction." This overlap is why, from assembler on up, programming languages are, almost without exception, metaphors for written communicative language.
This statement describes programming languages in the same way as written ones.
Programmers transitioning Perl <—> Php, for example, might notice such a thing.
