An expression-oriented programming language is one where every construction in the language (except macro definitions, pre-processor commands and, perhaps, declarations), including those that look like statements in other languages, can in principle yield a value and let it be used accordingly.

ALGOL 68 is an example of an expression-oriented language. Pascal is not.
