(1995) Québec studies in the philosophy of science, part I, Dordrecht, Springer.
Attempting to extend the nominalistic interpretation of mathematics to natural languages, we are led to consider three classes of nouns and three classes of verbs. We find that the former trichotomy plays a prominent rôle in the early history of mathematics, while the latter provides a basic framework for our prescientific view of the world.
