Name of symbol
To the best of my recollection, I have never actually encountered the name "null sign" for this symbol till now. Not that I know any other specific name for it either; I would just have called it "the empty set symbol". I'm sure this name can be attested somewhere, but I really doubt it's standard.
We could discuss moving it, but is there any good reason to have an article about this symbol? --Trovatore (talk) 04:26, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Having looked at it and thought about it a little more, I'm thinking that, besides the name, the problem with this article is that it conflates the linguistic and mathematical usages in a way that is more than a little OR-ish. I would drop my objection if the article were rewritten to be purely about linguistics (not to say it's a standard name in linguistics either, just that I don't know linguistics well enough to be at all confident that it isn't). The linguistic usage, as described, seems to be about a missing element that could be there, which is not really the same thing as the empty set. --Trovatore (talk) 05:13, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
