PREDICATES Meaning and Definition

1. Predicates, in the field of grammar and logic, refer to a fundamental element of a sentence that provides information about the subject or connects it to the rest of the sentence. A predicate typically consists of a verb or verb phrase that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It can also include objects, complements, or modifiers that further describe or complete the action or state.

   In grammar, a predicate can be divided into two main types: simple and compound predicates. A simple predicate consists of only a verb or verb phrase that directly relates to the subject, indicating the action or state being performed. For example, in the sentence "She runs every morning," the simple predicate is the verb "runs."

   On the other hand, a compound predicate includes two or more verbs or verb phrases that share the same subject, expressing additional actions or states. An example would be the sentence "He painted the wall and cleaned the floor," where the compound predicate consists of the verbs "painted" and "cleaned."

   In logic, a predicate refers to a statement that contains one or more variables and becomes a proposition when specific values are assigned to the variables. Predicates are commonly used to define relationships, describe properties, or make assertions about the elements being discussed. For instance, the predicate "x is greater than 5" has a variable (x) and can yield a proposition (e.g., "7 is greater than 5"), depending on the truth value assigned to the variable.

Etymology of PREDICATES

The word "predicates" has its origins in Latin. It comes from the Latin word "praedicatus", which is the past participle form of the verb "praedicare". In Latin, "praedicare" means "to proclaim" or "to declare". This verb is derived from the combination of two Latin words: "prae" meaning "before" or "in front of" and "dicare" meaning "to say" or "to speak". "Praedicatus" eventually evolved into "predicate" in English, referring to the part of a sentence that expresses something about the subject.
