I started thinking writing a scripting system of my own. I have no real fundamental knowledge of this. But I want to create a own scripting language and there also should be a compiler with grammar error checking, spelling and so on... What would be good beginner books to help me get startet with this huge task? Thank you for any response! :-)

A sincere tip would be to learn Python and Lua first. If you don't already know them :)

Also try GDnet's Scripting Languages and Game Mods Forum FAQ, not to mention the forum itself.

It sounds like it might be over your head, but the most complete book I've found on the topic of compiler creation and design is the very old "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools" (ISBN: 0201100886). If you get it, you probably want to get it used because of the price (its a uni textbook with a typical textbook price > $100), but it is definitely worth having IMO.
