✦ Synopsis

The aim of this paper is to understand why empiricist philosophers of language did not try to refute the Leibniz-Beauz6e argument, which questioned the genetical priority of proper names. It is shown that, within the semantic theory whieh underlies the empiricist doctrine, one may assume that all general terms derive from 'particular names', while conceding that every proper name can be etymologically traced back to the ancestor of a common noun.
