The Ada Standard uses the word an awful lot (starting with 3.2(1)) for 
something that isn't "a programming language term". The AARM even gives a 
definition for "value" (3.2(10.a)). I'd say that it certainly is a 
programming language term, but it's one whose meaning is assumed to be 
understood and thus is axiomatic. (There are of course a number of such 
terms, it would be impossible to define every word used in a Standard.)
