WHAT DOES SYNCATEGOREMATIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Syncategorematic term

In scholastic logic, a syncategorematic term is a word that cannot serve as the subject or the predicate of a proposition, and thus cannot stand for any of Aristotle's categories, but can be used with other terms to form a proposition. Words such as 'all', 'and', 'if' are examples of such terms. The distinction between categorematic and syncategorematic terms was established in ancient Greek grammar. Words that designate self-sufficient entities were called categorematic, and those that do not stand by themselves were dubbed syncategorematic,. Priscian in his Institutiones grammaticae translates the word as consignificantia. Scholastics retained the difference, which became a dissertable topic after the 13th century revival of logic. William of Sherwood, a representative of terminism, wrote a treatise called Syncategoremata. Later his pupil, Peter of Spain, produced a similar work entitled Syncategoreumata. In propositional calculus, a syncategorematic term is a term that has no individual meaning. Whether a term is syncategorematic or not is determined by the way it is defined or introduced in the language.

Definition of syncategorematic in the English dictionary

The definition of syncategorematic in the dictionary is applying to expressions that are not in any of Aristotle's categories, but form meaningful expressions together with them, such as conjunctions and adverbs.
