Husserl also identifies a series of " formal words " which are necessary to form sentences and have no sensible correlates.
Examples of formal words are " a ", " the ", " more than ", " over ", " under ", " two ", " group ", and so on.
Every sentence must contain formal words to designate what Husserl calls " formal categories ".
There are two kinds of categories: meaning categories and formal-ontological categories.
Meaning categories relate judgments ; they include forms of conjunction, disjunction, forms of plural, among others.
Formal-ontological categories relate objects and include notions such as set, cardinal number, ordinal number, part and whole, relation, and so on.
The way we know these categories is through a faculty of understanding called " categorial intuition ".
