Section.8.3
... The order of a predicate is 1 if its arguments are terms. Otherwise the order is n + 1 where n is the maximum order of the arguments that are not terms. The order of a function is always 1 since it’s arguments are always terms. Examples. In the wff p(x) q(x, p) the order of p is one and the order ...

Propositional Logic: Part I - Semantics

Between Truth and Falsity

Hence, if a sentence is too vague to be given a determinate truth value, this is because it does not express a clear proposition (propositions, on this view), being the primary bearers of truth values. Similarly, if we do not know, say, whether the deci ...
