en-wikipedia-org-3582		Type–token distinction - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1783	230	66	The type–token distinction is the difference between naming a class (type) of objects and naming the individual instances (tokens) of that class. The type–token distinction separates types (abstract descriptive concepts) from tokens (objects that instantiate concepts). In the sentence "the bicycle is becoming more popular" the word "bicycle" represents a type that is a concept; whereas in the sentence "the bicycle is in the garage" the word "bicycle" represents a token: a particular object. (The distinction in computer programming between classes and objects is related, though in this context, "class" sometimes refers to a set of objects (with class-level attribute or operations) rather than a description of an object in the set, as "type" would.) In other words: each letter form which appears in the text has to be shown as a particular instance ("token") of one and the same type which contains a reverse image of the printed letter.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3582.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3582.txt
