Concatenative

A concatenative structure is a structure that is valid after placing values one after the other.

For example, strings are concatenative, using the . dot operator. On the other hand, JSON is not concatenative, as two JSON strings placed one after the other does not create a valid JSON.

There are concatenative programming languages, and natural languages.

<?php

    $fullName = 'John' . ' ' . 'Doe';

?>
