13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Objective: • Students are able to identify the properties of predicates • Students are able to do the exercises on derivation. • Topics • Properties of predicates • Symmetric and assymetric predicates • Reflexsive and irreflexsive predicates • Transitive and intransitive predicates • Derivation
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Symmetric predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • XPY entails YPX • P = a symmetric predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Assymmetric predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • XPY contradicted to YPX • P = an assymmetric predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Reflexsive predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • X and Y = have the same referent • XPX = analytic sentence • XPY = analytic sentence • P = a reflexsive predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Irreflexsive predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • X and Y = have the same referent • XPX = contradiction • XPY = contradiction • P = a irreflexsive predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Transitive predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • Z = referring expression • XPY and YPZ entails XPZ • P = a transitive predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Properties of predicates • Intransitive predicate • P = a two – place predicate • X = referring expression • Y = referring expression • Z = referring expression • XPY and YPZ contradiction of XPZ • P = a intransitive predicate
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Derivation: • Forming new words • Based on existing words • On regular basis
13. Properties of Predicates and Derivation • Process of derivation • Morphological process : the change is in morpheme • Syntactic process: the change is in structure – parts of speech • Semantic process : the change is in meaning
