Abstract

A distinction can usefully be drawn to clarify what follows between two types of language which both contribute — to a greater or a lesser extent — to the elaboration of the representations of knowledge. One of these types consists of the family of logico-mathematical languages and the other of natural languages. No doubt they have something in common, but they differ in two respects: the objects they deal with and their function. The first type of language makes it possible for us to calculate, and the second to communicate.
