A system of formal logic that uses symbols to represent subjects and their properties or relationships, allowing us to reason precisely about statements.
Predicates(in logic and philosophy of language)
Words or phrases that describe properties or characteristics of something—like 'is red' or 'is tall' in the sentence 'The ball is red.'
Syntactic(as used in linguistics)
Related to the rules and structure of how words are arranged in language, rather than their meaning.
quantifiers(the logical form Russell said descriptions should take)
Words like 'all,' 'some,' and 'none' that express how many things we're talking about; Russell argued that phrases like 'the king of France' should be understood using these quantity-words rather than as simple names.
