 for procedural language
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :

  procedural language
       
           A term used in contrast to declarative language
          to describe a language where the programmer specifies an
          explicit sequences of steps to follow to produce a result.
       
          The term should not be confused with "{imperative language".
          An example (non-imperative) procedural language is LOGO,
          which specifies sequences of steps to perform but does not
          have an internal state.
       
          Other procedural languages include Basic, Pascal, C, and
          Modula-2.
