Abstract
I want to turn now to the discussion of Mill’s view of the semantic status of S-P propositions. Following the survey of the theories of the copula presented in Chapter 5, this is a reasonably easy task. The way in which the copula connects subject and predicate to each other in concrete propositions is the central topic of the first four sections of this chapter. Abstract propositions come up only in 6.7.
