Predicating 'is red' in 'The rose is red' already contributes semantic meaning (property attribution) regardless of assertoric force. Meaning and force are distinct but not ordered.

Property attribution(in metaphysics and logic): The act of assigning or claiming that something has a particular quality or characteristic.
Speech Act Theory(the main theory being discussed): A philosophical framework that studies how language doesn't just describe things—it actually *does* things, like when saying 'I promise' creates an obligation or 'I declare you married' performs an action.
assertoric force(as used in philosophy of language): The power of a statement to claim something is actually true about the real world; when you say something 'has assertoric force,' you mean the speaker is genuinely claiming it as fact rather than just imagining or pretending.
predicate/predicating(the logical operation of saying 'animal' applies to 'human being'): To say that one thing has a quality or is part of a group—like saying 'the sky is blue' or 'humans are animals.'
