There are certain technical names applied to the components of many-worded general names, CATEGOREMATIC and SYNCATEGOREMATIC, SUBJECT and ATTRIBUTIVE. The distinctions are really grammatical rather than logical, and of little practical value. A word that can stand by itself as a term is said to be Categorematic. _Man_, _poet_, or any other common noun. A word that can only form part of a term is Syncategorematic. Under this definition come all adjectives and adverbs. The student's ingenuity may be exercised in applying the distinction to the various parts of speech. A verb may be said to be _Hypercategorematic_, implying, as it does, not only a term, but also a copula. A nice point is whether the Adjective is categorematic or syncategorematic. The question depends on the definition of "term" in Logic. In common speech an adjective may stand by itself as a predicate, and so might be said to be Categorematic. "This heart is merry." But if a term is a class, or the name of a class, it is not Categorematic in the above definition. It can only help to specify a class when attached to the name of a higher genus. Mr. Fowler's words SUBJECT and ATTRIBUTIVE express practically the same distinction, except that Attributive is of narrower extent than syncategorematic. An Attributive is a word that connotes an attribute or property, as _hot_, _valorous_, and is always grammatically an adjective. The EXPRESSION OF QUANTITY, that is, of Universality or non-universality, is all-important in syllogistic formulae. In them universality is expressed by _All_ or _None_. In ordinary speech universality is expressed in various forms, concrete and abstract, plain and figurative, without the use of "all" or "none". Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. He can't be wrong whose life is in the right. What cat's averse to fish? Can the leopard change his spots? The longest road has an end. Suspicion ever haunts the guilty mind. Irresolution is always a sign of weakness. Treason never prospers. A proposition in which the quantity is not expressed is called by Aristotle INDEFINITE ([Greek: adioristos]). For "indefinite"[2] Hamilton suggests PREINDESIGNATE, undesignated, that is, before being received from common speech for the syllogistic mill. A proposition is PREDESIGNATE when the quantity is definitely indicated. All the above propositions are "Predesignate" universals, and reducible to the form All S is P, or No S is P. The following propositions are no less definitely particular, reducible to the form I or O. In them as in the preceding quantity is formally expressed, though the forms used are not the artificial syllogistic forms:-- Afflictions are often salutary. Not every advice is a safe one. All that glitters is not gold. Rivers generally[3] run into the sea.
