Predication

_predication_; and, as all beliefs express ideas of relation, we may say that the sign of predication is the verbal symbol of a feeling of relation. ❋ Thomas Henry Huxley (1860)

My predication is that this case will be fast-tracked up to the SCOTUS. ❋ Unknown (2010)

As Homi K. Bhabha has argued, the stereotype, as a structure of predication, is fraught with contradiction: on the one hand, it is supposed to articulate a naturalized, self-evident truth, something that "goes without saying"; and yet, the fact that the stereotype depends upon continual reiteration (as in Bromion's repeated reference to Oothoon's harlotry) suggests that its authority is always less than comfortably stable. ❋ Unknown (2001)

His objections appear to stem from two deeply held intuitions, which I will call the predication intuition and the glue intuition. ❋ Bacon, John (2008)

But another is the idea of a substance as an ultimate subject of predication, that is, as something of which properties or relations may be predicated, but which is itself never predicated of anything else. ❋ Manning, Richard (2006)

If the form connotated by the predicate-term is intrinsic to the nature of the subject, then the predication is a case of formal essential predication, while if it is extrinsic, the predication is a case of formal accidental predication. ❋ Conti, Alessandro (2006)

Thus he divides real predication, which is a real relation between two entities of the world, into formal predication (praedicatio formalis) and predication by essence (praedicatio essentialis vel secundum essentiam). ❋ Conti, Alessandro (2005)

The process consists, first, in the mind's _fixing upon and resting in_ an object, which thereby becomes the subject of the sentence; and, secondly, in predication, which is movement, represented by the verb. ❋ Various (N/A)

The form of words which expresses a predication is a proposition. ❋ Thomas Henry Huxley (1860)

The real subject of the predication is the entire proposition, “Mohammed is the prophet of God;” and the affirmation is, that this is a legitimate inference from the proposition, “The Koran comes from God.” ❋ John Stuart Mill (1839)

HencCt says he, every simple significant word, when it is treated, pronounced, and asserted of any tiling, may be called predication, and a predica - ment. ❋ Aristotle, Thomas Taylor (1812)

Like someone can be described, for example, in that he is the son of a certain man, and the father of a second and the uncle of a third, the maternal uncle of a fourth, the friend of a fifth and the enemy of a sixth [¦] this [kind of predication] is not impossible. ❋ Fontaine, Resianne (2006)

This kind of predication accounts for the remaining six categories. ❋ Gracia, Jorge (2006)

No instances of this kind of predication are given by Wyclif. ❋ Conti, Alessandro (2005)

Although, according to the latter reading, formal predication is not a kind of predication by essence, this reading nevertheless implies an interpretation of the ˜is™ of predication in terms of identity and, therefore, a new definition of the pair of antonymous notions of identity and difference (or distinction). ❋ Conti, Alessandro (2005)
