Enrichment - Modes of Enrichment.

In /On the occasion of/ the explanation of the modes in which a language is capable of being enriched, two objects require to be considered, viz. 1. The source from which the addition is derived; 2. The mode in which it is made.

Say enrichment ab intra, or home-drawn, in so far as the addition is drawn from the same language, - ab extra, in so far as it is drawn from any foreign language.

Simple modes of enrichment are

1. Designation /Indication/ of particular properties as applied to a given genus - as expressed by a generic name of any degree of amplitude. Examples of this mode of enrichment are afforded by the several branches of Natural History and natural philosophy.

2. Spiritualization or psychologization; in so far as of any name of any physical substance, operation or quality, application is made to the purpose of giving designation to any correspondent, or supposed correspondent, psychological substance, operation, or quality. Give example, the psychological object being modelled from the physical archetype, as a bust in clay from any part of the human figure.

    '.│ │ Propositions generalia

    1. To be subservient to any use or purpose - every assignable portion of it, language must, on each occasion be enuntiative or suggestive of at least some one proposition.

    2. This proposition, will consist either of one word only or of divers words - be either mono-epic or poly-epic.

    3. When it is polyepic, the proposition has the[?] several words for its component elements.

    4. A proposition is either simple or composite.

    5. Every composite proposition is resolvable into a number of simple ones.

    6. Every monoepic proposition has for its equivalent a polyepic one, of which it is the abridged expression.

    7. Examples of monoepic propositions are the several conjugates (the infinitive mood excepted) which are usually contained in what is called a verb: one and the same verb.

    8. A simple proposition is either, 1. physical: 2. psychological: 3. or compounded of the two.

    9. Every psychological proposition has for its archetype a physical proposition.

    10. Physical are thence the propositions the mention of which requires to precede that of the other.

    11. By every single physical proposition, the subject of it is stated either as being in a state of rest, or in a state of motion: in a state of motion, or in a state of rest.

    Propositions

    Every proposition of which either a conjunction, or preposition or an[?] adverb make a part is a composite proposition.

    12. In every simple physical proposition, if compleat, are contained a word or term designative of the subject (a) of the proposition, a word designative of the predicate (b) of the proposition, and a word expressive of the copula (c) or bond of connection between the two - a word by which the operation called predication is performed. +

    13. This copula is either affirmative or negative:

    14. By the copula, if affirmative the subject is averred to be in some state, the designation of which is effected by the the predicate as[?] employed.

    14. This state is either a state of rest or of motion.

    15. If in a state of rest, either included in or appended to the proposition is a designation of some portion of time[?] as being that, in which the subject is meant to be asserted as being in the state in question. This leads to the consideration of the various modifications of time.

    (a) See sheets of the subject of a proposition.-

    (b) The predicate is always the name, - may at least in every case be considered at the name of a quality.-

    (c) So called in as much as it operates as a bond of connection to such other parts of speech as it may happen to the other parts of the proposition to contain.-
