According to the arguments presented in Section 2.2, it will be hypothesised that it is the lexical aspect [+/− TERMINATIVE] instead of the grammatical aspect [+/−PERFECTIVE] which provides a cue for the modal interpretation of the predicate to the effect that the root modal reading is more natural with an event complement than with an atelic complement.
The intensional treatment of 'dogs are mammals' interprets this sentence as true because the semantic interpretation of the subject is a superset of the interpretation of the predicate.
On the extensional treatment of the sentence, however, the sentence is true because the interpretation of the subject (the class of dogs) is a subset of the interpretation of the predicate (the set of mammals).
An atomic formula $P^{n }{i} x_{i}, \ldots, x_{n}$ is satisfied in $\langle D, I\rangle$ by $s$ if, and only if, $\langle s(x_{1}), \ldots, s(x_{n})\rangle \in I(P^{n}_{i})$, whish meansatisfiede $n$-tuple of objects $s$ assinns to the variables that occur in the formula is in the interpretation of the predicate $\langlei}$ unDer $I\rangle
Of course, the predicate symbol p* will be interpreted such that it relativises the interpretation of the corresponding modal propositional symbol p to worlds, the predicate symbol R will be interpreted using the accessibility relation, and the predicate symbol = will be interpreted using the identity relation on worlds.
This generalizes in an appropriate manner to a so called safe interpretation over any linearly ordered BL-algebra and definition of the truth value ||φ|| M,L given by the L-interpretation M. A formula is a general BL-tautology in the predicate logic BL∀ if its truth value is 1 in each safe interpretation.
Verb and complement together form the predicate.
Make the predicate noun "a cause célèbre".
(In the previous sentence, the predicate is everything except "the predicate," which is the subject).
More important, the predicate names the predicament of the subject.
