Document Summary

Categorical logic and venn diagrams: examples of categorical statements, all cows are vegetarians, no cows are vegetarians, some cows are vegetarians, some cows are not vegetarians. Each categorical statement includes four parts: quantifier, subject, verb, predicate: quantifier: e. g. all none some ; this part of the statement describes the amount - how many cows are vegetarians, all cows or some cows or. No cows: subject: this part of the statement describes what or who the statement is about, verb: this part of the statement links the subject with the predicate. Notice that some categorical statements include more than one verb. Your job is to identify the linking verb between subject and predicate: predicate: this part of the statement describes what the subject is doing or being the cows are being vegetarians, the order is important: qsvp. A categorical statement will always follow the qsvp order: subjects, predicates, verbs, quantifiers.
