In this paper we give a brief introduction to the foundations of WSL transformation theory and describe some applications to program slicing. We introduce some generalisations of traditional slicing, amorphous slicing and conditioned slicing which are possible in the framework of WSL transformations. One generalisation is ``semantic slicing'' which combines slicing and abstraction to a specification.
