Subject Term
Predicate Term
Copula
The term designating the idea (thing) about which something is affirmed or denied.
Subject Term
The term designating the idea (thing or attribute) which is affirmed or denied of the subject term.
Predicate Term
It is the linking verb “is” or “is not” (am, am not, are, are not, was, was not, were, were not) expressing the agreement or disagreement between the subject term and the predicate term. As a linking verb, it links the predicate term to the subject term.
Copula
It is always a sentence. It is a kind of sentence
that makes an assertion or a claim, it asserts that something is true or false, hence, not all sentences are propositions
Proposition
It does not declare an unconditional affirmation or denial, but expresses a relation of dependence such as an opposite or a likeness between two clauses.
Hypothetical Proposition
It is one in which two parts are joined by if, unless, when, where, suppose, in case. It is sometimes called an if-then proposition because of its usual structure; If A is B Then C is D.
Conditional Proposition
It is one whose subject or predicate consists of parts which exclude each other. It is sometimes called an either-or statement due to its construction. The parts of disjunction are called disjuncts (alternants).
Disjunctive Proposition
It is one which denies that two contrary predicates together can be true of the same subject at the same time. It denies the simultaneous possibility of two alternatives.
Conjunctive Proposition
The truth value of this proposition depends on the relationship or connection between the two judgements.
Hypothetical Proposition
It is the act by which the mind affirms or denies something about something else. A judgment however, gives the mind a complex object.
Judgement
It is the ideas or concept, in themselves, are neither true nor false. Truth becomes a logical issue when the intellect relates, compares, and pronounces whether two ideas or concepts agree or disagree with each other.
