Categorical Logic The Categorical Propositions
D. Quantifiers - words that specify the quantity of the subject and predicate terms.
1. Universal -
a. affirmative - ‘all’ (includes all of a class) b. negative - ‘no’ (excludes all of a class)
2. Particular - ‘some’ (includes part of a class)
I. The Components of Categorical Propositions -
A. Subject Term - first category or class B. Predicate Term - second category or class
C. Copula - the grammatical link (verb) between subject and predicate terms.

Four Standard Formsof Categorical Propositions
All members of the Subject class are members of the Predicate class.
None of the members of the Subject class are members of the Predicate class.
At least one member of the Subject class is a member of the Predicate class.
At least one member of the Subject class is not a member of the Predicate class.
All S are P.
No S are P.
Some S are P.
Some S are not P.
