The expression ˜syncategorematic term™ should be taken in a broad sense here, so that it not only includes classical syncategorematic terms like ˜and™, ˜if™, ❋ Pironet, Fabienne (2007)
Such reflections suggest the possibility, explored with great ingenuity by medieval logicians, that all propositions are composed of categorical propositions and a small number of so-called syncategorematic elements. ❋ Pietroski, Paul (2009)
"syncategorematic" as applied to expressions was roughly this semantic sense (see Kretzmann 1982, pp. 212 ff.). ❋ Gómez-Torrente, Mario (2006)
He also composed a voluminous collection of Sophismata, which examines numerous sentences that raise difficulties of interpretation due to the presence of syncategorematic words -- i.e., terms such as quantifiers and certain prepositions, which, according to medieval logicians, do not have a proper and determinate signification but rather modify the signification of the other terms in the propositions in which they occur. ❋ Biard, Joél (2009)
Modifications were made to this simple scheme to cover the cases of special terms, including syncategorematic terms, such as ❋ Ashworth, E. Jennifer (2009)
The syncategorematic words were naturally seen as indicating the structure or form of the proposition, while the categorematic words supplied its “matter.” ❋ MacFarlane, John (2009)
In sum, it is not clear how the distinction between categorematic and syncategorematic terms, so natural in the framework of a term logic, can be extended to a post-Fregean function/argument conception of propositional structure. ❋ MacFarlane, John (2009)
If we count all functional expressions as syncategorematic on the grounds that they are “incomplete” or “unsaturated” and thus not “independently meaningful,” then the syncategorematic expressions will include not just connectives and quantifiers, but ordinary predicates. ❋ MacFarlane, John (2009)
Although the distinction between de dicto and de re modal sentences was common in logical treatises on the properties of the terms, syncategorematic terms, and the solution of sophisms, twelfth - and thirteenth-century logicians were mainly interested in the logical properties of singular de re modal sentences. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Put in terms of supposition, the syncategorematic phrase ˜immediately after the present moment™ renders the supposition of the term that follows it merely confused. ❋ Longeway, John (2007)
The first two separate chapters of the Syncategoreumata are devoted to the words est and non, which are said to be implied in all other syncategorematic words. ❋ Spruyt, Joke (2007)
Chapter eight discusses the signification and use of connectives, and the final chapter on syncategorematic words proper is concerned with the expressions quanto, quam and quicquid. ❋ Spruyt, Joke (2007)
Since syncategorematic terms only affect terms that follow them, moving a term confused by a syncategorematic word before that word will negate the confusing effect of the word. ❋ Longeway, John (2007)
One possibility is to deny that attitude verbs designate relations when complemented by that-clauses, and to claim that they rather make a syncategorematic semantic contribution. ❋ McGrath, Matthew (2007)
Peter's treatise on syncategorematic words forms part of a separate genre that developed from the beginning of the thirteenth century. ❋ Spruyt, Joke (2007)
Singular inclusion is no syncategorematic copula: it is a special binary predicate. ❋ Simons, Peter (2007)
More important for metalogical purposes is the fact that the universal quantifier too is syncategorematic in LeÅniewski. ❋ Simons, Peter (2007)
Note that the parentheses in LeÅniewski's notation do not themselves have a category: they are syncategorematic. ❋ Simons, Peter (2007)
Therefore in the “official” system the universal quantifier remained as a syncategorematic expression, but still entered into legal combinations, which meant that the syntax of his systems was not fully captured by categorial grammar. ❋ Simons, Peter (2007)
A well-formed sentence must be categorical, and so have a single subject and a single predicate, however complex these two terms may become through the use of exponible and syncategorematic terms in them. ❋ Longeway, John (2007)
