They can be classified according to whether they correspond to general or singular terms, by contributing to a specification of the objects to which the sentence refers to and to which they belong as subsets. See also truth values, interpretation, relative clauses, conditionals, premises._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
