Is the opposite of ... yeah guess what? ... the opposite of non-strict semantics. It means, that an undefined argument of a function leads to an undefined function value.

forall f.  f undefined = undefined

It may be implemented by eager evaluation.

Strict semantics is used e.g. in OCaml and LISP.
