The relationship between the semantic doctrines of William of Ockham and John Buridan remains a subject of debate in secondary literature. According to a traditional reading, the Parisian master was a staunch defender of the Ockhamist "credo." An alternative interpretation, however, identifies a difference regarding the primacy Ockham assigns to mental language, whereas Buridan prioritizes conventional language. This study challenges both readings, demonstrating that the differences between the two authors are profound and touch upon the very meaning of their respective forms of nominalism. Yet, when tracing the trajectory of this divergence, Ockham appears close to a form of conventionalism, while Buridan emerges as an uncompromising mentalist.
