First of all, we must distinguish between natural languages (English, German, Italian, etc.) and formal languages, such as mathematics. The natural ones emerge and evolve naturally in social communities as much as in scientific communities, while the formal languages are artificially built for use in disciplines such as mathematics, logic and computer programming. Formal languages are characterized by ''syntax'' and ''semantics'' with precise rules, while a natural language has a fairly vague syntax known as ''grammar'' and lacks any explicit semantics.

To keep this study active and engaging, and to avoid it degenerating into a boring treatise on the philosophy of science, let’s consider a very explanatory clinical case. We will deal with it using different languages: [[Logic of medical language|Classical language]], [[Logic of Probabilistic language|Probabilistic language]], [[Logic of Fuzzy language|Fuzzy logic]] and [[Logic of System language|Logic of System]].
