V 182
Subject/predicate/SearleVsStrawson: there is a functional difference between subject and predicate: the subject identifies the object and the predicate characterizes the already identified object.
V 150
Predication/object/existence/Searle: Problem: e.g. "Sam is drunk". Question: Is there anything that corresponds to "is drunk" in the same way as Sam corresponds to "Sam"?
V 151
Frege: Yes, a term. Here, it is the term "drunkenness". Problem: this violates the Leibniz Law (interchangeability salva veritate):
Example: "Sam is drunkenness". Frege's solution: "the term horse is not a term, but an object".
Term/Frege: "term" exhibits a predicament of language. The term "term" is used in a double sense.
The term "horse" can be a grammatical subject but not a grammatical predicate of a sentence.
The quality of being a horse is not itself an attribution of a quality.
V 173
Frege did not succeed in demonstrating a symmetry of subject and predicate. ((s)> Brandom: proves necessary asymmetry). >Singular terms/Brandom.
V 174
Term Theory/Strawson/Thesis: both the subject and the predicate identify "non-linguistic entities". They introduce them into the proposition where they are linked by a "non-relational connection". (SearleVs).
