EXERCISES.
43. Give one example of each of the following,—(i) a collective general name, (ii) a singular abstract name, (iii) a connotative singular name, (iv) a connotative abstract name. Add reasons justifying your example in each case. [K.]
44. Discuss the logical characteristics of the following names:—beauty, fault, Mrs Grundy, immortal, nobility, slave, sovereign, the Times, truth, ungenerous. [K.]
[In discussing the character of any name it is necessary first of all to determine whether it is univocal, that is, used in one definite sense only, or equivocal (or ambiguous), that is, used in more senses than one. In the latter case, its logical characteristics may vary according to the sense in which it is used.]
45. It has been maintained that the doctrine of terms is extra-logical. Justify or controvert this position. [J.]
