Denominative adjectives may be divided into such as denote: I.
Some verbs have a denominative theme in the present system, and a primitive theme in the perfect system, others have the reverse.
Some primitives from vowel roots have the form of denominatives in the present system, or throughout; and some verbs with a denominative present system have the perfect and perfect participle formed directly from a root.
This distinction having been clearly understood, the next point was that both kinds of names admit of connotative extension—denotative names within the receptual sphere, and denominative within the conceptual.
To do this I will begin by quoting an instance of un-denominative or receptual connotation in the case of a young child.
Therefore it is only in this denominative sense of the word, or in cases where conceptual ideation is concerned, that an act of naming involves an act of judgment, strictly so called.
Of course the distinction is not one that can be very sharply drawn, because, as fully shown in my chapter on Speech, every concept embodies a judgment, and therefore every denominative term is a condensed proposition.
By formal predication I will mean the apposition of denominative terms, with the intention of setting forth some relation which is thus expressed as subsisting between them.
Thus we have to fasten attention only upon the differences between the denotative, the connotative, and the denominative phases of language.
Now, this element of vitality is the element of conceptual ideation, already exhibited in every denominative term.
By a predicative sign I will mean a proposition, or the conceptual apposition of two denominative terms, expressive of the speaker’s intention to connote something of the one by means of the other.
The only explanation they might need relates to #9 and #12.
The force is modelled somewhat along the lines of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police.
