Much of the work in analyzing predications lies in recognizing the individual terms that fill their blanks and in analyzing these individual terms further.
6.2.1. Individual terms
While individual terms are not limited to proper names, they do not include all noun phrases, only the ones that function like proper names.
6.2.2. Functors
Individual terms can be formed from other individual terms by operations analogous to predicates.
6.2.3. Examples and problems
These operations enable us to continue the analysis of sentences beyond the analysis of predications by analyzing individual terms themselves.
