description

Propositions of everyday discourse can have, unlike those of formal languages, other components over and above the predicate and the terms needed to saturate it. These components are of two very different sorts: adverbs and further individual terms. Only adverbs have already been discussed by other writers in this connection; but they are not the whole story.
