'''''Fundamental Concepts in Programming Languages''''' were an influential set of [[lecture notes]] written by [[Christopher Strachey]] for the International Summer School in Computer Programming at Copenhagen in August, 1967. It introduced much programming language terminology still in use today, including ''"[[R-value]]s''" and ''"[[L-value]]s''", ''"[[ad hoc polymorphism]]''", ''"[[parametric polymorphism]]''", and ''"[[referential transparency (computer science)|referential transparency]]''".

The Theylecture notes were reprinted in 2000 in a special issue of ''[[Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation]]'' in memory of Strachey.
