of language how far adjectives can be used as subjects. They cease to
be logical attributives the moment they are so used.

76. There is a sense in which every word may become categorematic,
namely, when it is used simply as a word, to the neglect of its proper
meaning. Thus we can say--'"Swiftly" is an adverb.' 'Swiftly' in this
sense is really no more than the proper name for a particular
word. This sense is technically known as the 'suppositio materialis'
of a word.




CHAPTER II.

77. Before entering on the divisions of terms it is necessary to
advert for a moment to a division of the things whereof they are
names.

78. By a 'thing' is meant simply an object of thought--whatever one
can think about.

79. Things are either Substances or Attributes. Attributes may be
sub-divided into Qualities and Relations.
