WHAT DOES OCCURRENCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Type–token distinction

In disciplines such as logic, metalogic, typography, and computer programming, the type–token distinction is a distinction that separates a concept from the objects which are particular instances of the concept. For example, the particular bicycle in your garage is a token of the type of thing known as "The bicycle". Whereas the bicycle in your garage is in a particular place at a particular time, that is not true of "the bicycle" as used in the sentence: "The bicycle has become more popular recently". This is essentially the same as the distinction in computer programming between classes and objects. Types are often understood ontologically as being concepts. They do not exist anywhere in particular because they are not physical objects. Types may have many tokens. However, types are not directly producible as tokens are. You may, for instance, show someone the bicycle in your garage, but you cannot show someone "the bicycle" in the sense which is meant when we say that "the bicycle is becoming more popular." Tokens always exist at a particular place and time and may be shown to exist as a concrete physical object.
