Summary/Abstract: The human language uses communication material for identifying and individualising the senses of the words in the speaking process. One of this word is represented by the zero numeral which has two sides, one being a logical notion, and a lexical term, being the other one. This kind of concept, specialized in the idea of empty set receives a list of specific meanings, filled with expressiveness that exceeds the negative quantification, adding illogical associations between zero and nouns at their plural forms.
