declarativas

Declarativas refers to the plural form used in Spanish, Portuguese, and other Romance languages to denote declarative sentences or, in some contexts, declarative programming approaches. In linguistics, a declarative sentence is the most common type of statement used to convey information, describe a fact, or express a belief. They are typically contrasted with interrogatives, which ask questions, and imperatives, which issue commands. In many languages, declaratives are the default mood or sentence type and are often punctuated with a period. The word order and inflection of declaratives vary across languages, with some relying on subject–verb–object arrangements and others using different structures to indicate assertion.

In logic and philosophy, declarative sentences express propositions that have truth conditions and can be true or false. They play a central role in formal semantics, where their truth-conditional content is analyzed independent of how the information is communicated.

In computing, declarative programming describes a paradigm where the programmer specifies what the computation should accomplish rather than the exact steps to perform it. Declarative languages include SQL for database queries and Prolog for logic programming. Functional languages, such as Haskell, are often described as declarative because they emphasize expressions and results over explicit sequences of commands, though many languages combine paradigms.

The term declarativas thus spans both linguistic and computational domains, referring to statements that convey information in natural language and to programming styles that describe the desired outcomes of computation rather than the procedures to achieve them.
