Frege(as a major historical figure in philosophy): Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) was a German logician and philosopher who founded modern logic and did groundbreaking work on how language relates to meaning and existence.
Frege's puzzle cases(as the type of problem being discussed): A famous problem in philosophy about how two names or descriptions can mean different things to us (like 'the morning star' and 'the evening star') even though they actually refer to the same object (Venus).
Natural language(as used in logic and linguistics): Language as people actually speak and write it (like English or French), rather than artificial systems created for specific purposes.
formal language(as what the argument says we don't need to invent): A carefully constructed artificial language with strict, precise rules (like the language of symbolic logic or mathematics), designed to avoid the confusions of everyday language.
