| − | '''Syncategoremata''' | + | In medieval logic, '''syncategoremata''' are words which are not '''categorematic''': they cannot be used on their own as a subject term or as a predicate term. Syncategorematic terms can occur in a categorical or hypothetical proposition only with at least one matched pair of categorematic words – e.g., ''only'' Socrates runs (Solus Socrates currit), Socrates does ''not'' run (Socrates non currit). |
| | + | |
| | + | More than fifty different words were considered in the medieval logicians' treatment of syncategoremata. |
