Stegmüller IV 182
"Good"/Geach: (this is in relation to the problems with the definition of "good".)
Def Attributive adjective: = predicate operator: builds on the meaning of those words to which it is related. E.g. counterfeit: "faked" Banknotes: new description with a new meaning.
Banknotes are not something that is a banknote and is also falsified.

Def Predicative adjective: E.g. "green". "x is a stone and x is green".

Test: Predicative: if "C" is a predicative adjective and x is an A and a B at the same time, then x, if it is a CA, must also be a CB.

Attributive: is "C" attributive and x is an A and a B at the same time, so x can be a CA WITHOUT having to be a CB.
Attributive: E.g. something that is a flea and also an animal can be a large flea without having to be a large animal at the same time.
Predicative: e.g. an object, which is a stone and green is also a green object.
