  12. A quick question.
  13.  
  14. Where can I find good definitions of the words relating to
  15. functional programming? I could make up definitions, but I'd
  16. rather use accepted ones and refer to the source than take
  17. the responsibility myself with the risk of defining things
  18. wrongly, which would be distinctly bad form.
  19.  
  20. Specifically,
  21.     coersion
  22.     combinator
  23.     eager evaluation
  24.     high-order function
  25.     lazy evaluation
  26.     list comprehension
  27.     pattern matching
  28.     polymorphic
  29.     side-effects
  30.     strictly functional
  31.  
  32. thanks in advance.
