Last time, on our first grammar day, we learned about subjects and predicates. |
|
All three articles attempt to clarify the determinate-determinable relation by explaining the nature of disjunctive and conjunctive predicates. |
|
Leibniz, in his discussion of contingency, had already recognized that existence is quite different from ordinary predicates. |
|
This is because knowledge and direct perception predicates are factive, in that they presuppose the truth of their complements. |
|
Semantic intransitives then, are one-place predicates including the ones that are 'derived' from two-place predicates by variable binding. |
|
Resultative predicates may be topicalized, modified, or given as an answer but particles may not be. |
|
There are even languages where logocentric predicates are further restricted. |
|
The actual implementation and mathematical logic behind backing up predicates is beyond the scope of this paper. |
|
He said that although contradictory predicates are predicated of those that are the same in number, yet they are not convertibly the same. |
|
We will argue that it is the well-established contrast between stative and eventive predicates that lies at the bottom of these effects. |
|
The last four predicates are equivalent, so they entail the same predicates and are entailed by the same predicates. |
|
Local estate agents boasted resident geomancers, experts in the art of feng shui which predicates a building's design and orientation. |
|
A predicate is exclusively disjunctive if and only it is equivalent to a disjunction of disjoint predicates. |
|
One simple solution might be to incorporate deictically oriented directional predicates into hierarchy above to derive a new one. |
|
As I mentioned, the basic propositions are predicates applied to single individuals. |
|
We turn next to semantic constraints triggered by the lexical properties of certain predicates, idioms, and anaphoric expressions. |
|
You don't need to worry about sentences with predicates and subjects. |
|
For example, the predicates 'red' and 'smaller than' are monadic and dyadic, respectively. |
|
This film presents a compelling slice of life whilst interrogating with extraordinary discipline the formal predicates which encase both the film and its protagonist. |
|
Moral predicates do not denote or express properties and predicative moral sentences do not therefore predicate properties of their subjects. |
|
|
Where institutions are doing well, strong leadership overwhelmingly predicates success. |
|
We believe that this also predicates a responsibility towards society, which we want to live and demonstrate. |
|
This financing predicates on a final agreement among the parties on the management contract granted to a private operator. |
|
It is a partial operation that works only if the previously defined predicates are true. |
|
Statements are judgements, propositions or assertions that attribute some predicates to subjects. |
|
It is separated from the preceding and successive predicates by a conjunction. |
|
It is based especially on the transformation of predicates using substitutions. |
|
Certainly, improved management and information in federal agencies are important predicates to managing third-party relationships. |
|
However, this algorithm necessitates transforming all attribute values into predicates, which is fastidious. |
|
The following sections present the typing predicates that depend on the type of data and the typing substitutions made. |
|
The originality of this method is that it automatically determines relevant predicates and functions. |
|
Action verbs are used in intransitive predicates that take an agent noun that performs a certain action as argument but does not involve an overt patient. |
|
This predicates continuous investment in the latest production facilities, in equal measure to the systematic training programmes we provide for our employees. |
|
Therefore some indefinite noun phrases may also agree with predicates by means of this morpheme. |
|
A mathematical lemma made up of a list of predicates called assumptions and a predicate called the goal and which must be proved under these assumptions. |
|
Geach noted that we can distinguish between real changes, such as what occurs in Socrates when he dies, from mere changes in which predicates one satisfies, such as occurs in Xanthippe when Socrates dies. |
|
The elementary typing predicates are belonging, inclusion and equals. |
|
This terminology is also applied to predicates. |
|
Subjects and predicates of assertions are terms. |
|
Such predicates Goodman called projectible. |
|
|
No axiomatisation of these predicates is given. |
|
For example, some propositional attitude predicates, such as hegeisthai 'believe', or oisthai 'believe', take infinitive complements. |
|
Nominal predicates can provide a greater variety of constructions such as equative, existential, topic-comment, and 'it-is-named' constructions. |
|
First, the identification of the predicates which allow that-deletion with the predicates which allow complement preposing is misleading. |
|
If we take seriously the idea that change involves the application of incompatible predicates, then the sublanguage cannot express the contrast between old Oscar and young Oscar. |
|
Moreover, there is a kind of inference, called 'argument deletion,' that also suggests that many predicates that prima facie could be assigned a certain fixed degree are in fact multigrade. |
|
The sorites paradox is the name given to a class of paradoxical arguments, also known as little-by-little arguments, which arise as a result of the indeterminacy surrounding limits of application of the predicates involved. |
|
Prototypically, verbs are used to construct predicates, while nouns are used as arguments of predicates. |
|
This prompts the omnipredicative interpretation, which posits that all nouns are also predicates. |
|
Each of these predicates is a periphrastic form insofar at least one function word is present. |
|
Complete determination demands a comparison of the thing with the sum-total of all possible predicates. |
|
The points I have been making are one consequence of accepting the undetachability of predicates. |
|
Belgium seeks to improve aid-effectiveness as part of its international commitments to the MDGs, Monterrey and the Paris Declaration and the evaluation predicates recommendations on those commitments. |
|
Nominalized verb formations such as verbal nouns, participles, and predicative adjectives probably harken back to the protolanguage and can be reconstructed for predicates expressing state rather than action. |
|
Verbs can be intransitive, transitive or ditransitive predicates, while words belonging to other word categories can only be intransitive predicates. |
|
From the point of view of predicates, each of the main verbs constitutes the core of a predicate, and the auxiliary verbs contribute functional meaning to these predicates. |
|
There are two predicates in each of the verb chains in the sentences. |
|
It is well known that in languages with no overt aspectual morphology, telic predicates tend to be understood perfectively and atelic predicates imperfectively. |
