Nullo

In his discussion of the syllogism Valla does not refer to an important principle employed by Aristotle and his commentators: dici de omni et nullo (to be said/predicated about all and about none). ❋ Nauta, Lodi (2009)

Abelard's rules 1 and 2 are equivalent to the rules of class inclusion that later became the subject of much discussion, i.e., the so-called dici de omni et nullo rules. ❋ Unknown (2009)

All first figure moods are proved by the rules of class inclusion, that is, the dici de omni and dici de nullo rules. ❋ Unknown (2009)

And medieval logicians made great strides in reducing syllogistic logic to two principles: dictum de omni and dictum de nullo. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

This illustrates dictum de nullo: in the scope of negation, replacing ˜dog™ with the more restrictive predicate ˜brown dog™ yields a valid inference. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

To spell out the relation of their terms and hence the validity of the first figure syllogisms, he reformulates the traditional dici de omni et nullo rules (see King 1985: 71): ❋ Unknown (2009)

Linguists have also discovered grammatical correlates of dictum de nullo environments. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

One can describe this fact by saying that when the universal quantifier combines with a predicate to form a subject, that predicate is governed by dictum de nullo; but when a universally quantified subject combines with another predicate to form a proposition, this “second” predicate is governed by dictum de omni. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

Likewise, in accordance with dictum de nullo: if no animal is clever, and every dog is an animal, it follows that no dog is clever. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

By itself, this is expected, since ˜old patient™ is more restrictive than ˜patient™; and as we saw above, a universally quantified subject is governed by dictum de nullo. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)

According to Kilwardby, the modal character of the predication in the conclusion of the perfect first figure syllogism follows from the first premise, which involves the whole syllogism in accordance with the dici de omni et nullo (Lagerlund 2000, 41-42). ❋ Knuuttila, Simo (2008)
