Logico-mathematical languages are unambiguous.
H. ATLAN writes: “There is a one to one correspondence between the symbol and its meaning but at the same time, as a formal language, it can exist as a structure of symbols without them having any meaning; in other words, whenever the language reaches the state of having non ambiguous meanings, it can be formalized and exist without any meaning.” (1972, p.246).
Of course, this should be understood as “without any specific or concrete meaning.”
