From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   typed lambda-calculus
  
      (TLC) A variety of {lambda-calculus} in which every
      term is labelled with a {type}.
  
      A {function application} (A B) is only synctactically valid if
      A has type s --> t, where the type of B is s (or an {instance}
      or s in a {polymorphic} language) and t is any type.
  
      If the types allowed for terms are restricted, e.g. to
      {Hindley-Milner types} then no term may be applied to itself,
      thus avoiding one kind of non-terminating evaluation.
  
      Most {functional programming} languages, e.g. {Haskell}, {ML},
      are closely based on variants of the typed lambda-calculus.
