These look like decent explanations: http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~zdu/parsdemo/srintro.html
or, if you prefer a video presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga9b_E85Lwc Mind you, the examples are for parsers left-to-right parsers (indicated by LR in the alphabet soup used to label the things), while J's parser is a right-to-left parser (which would probably be labeled by RL along with some other bits of alphabet soup to describe the four token pattern matching that it uses to decide what reduce action to take).
