Yes, an assembler is a compiler for an assembly language

No, clown. A Compiler for Assembly Language is a tool that
breaks the one to one correspondance. Therefore it cannot
be an Assembler, as long as this is very exactly, the red

even if it would please you to break the most accepted and
most self-evident definitions.
