Ambiguity and the language of science
pp. 148-159
Abstract
The issue of what the precision of the language of science and the imprecision of everyday language consist of is resolved in elementary methodology by a simple formulation which states that everyday language includes many unclear and ambiguous words, whereas the language of science does not include such words (or includes a much smaller number of them).
