I 116f
The truth of categorical sentences depends on the objects. Categoricalness is our special apparatus of designating but the stimulus meaning is the same for natives. Goodman's individual calculus is better translated than syllogistic is.
V 98
Timeless Sentence/general term/singular term/Quine: relative general terms come together as absolute, with singular terms predicatively to timeless sentences like "Fido is smaller than Jumbo".
Next-complex step: e.g. "A dog is an animal". This is actually a universal categorical sentence [each a is a b]. Here are both, subject and predicate general terms. >Canonicalness/Quine.
Language learning: after the child has learned "animal", he/she is prepared to agree to the question "an animal?" if he/she suspects the presence of dogs or other animals.
N.B.: then it comes by transmission to react positively to "an animal?" when it hears the words "A dog?" ((s) >Classification).
V 114
Universal Categorical Sentence/Language Learning/Quine: Thesis: Each of us starts with a few universal categorical sentences, but different people start with different phrases.
Later one appropriates the universal categorical construction as such through abstraction and can form new universal categorical sentences from one's own means.
V 133
Universal categorical sentence: is not a predication but a combination of two general terms.
