There is no such Thing as Predication

Original language description

It is often taken for granted that predication is something that happens on mental, non-linguistic level, that the grammatical operation of predication is merely a shadowy epiphenomenon of our mental gluing together of the entities stood by the grammatical subject and the grammatical predicate. I argue that there is nothing - or at least nothing clearly graspable - that could be reasonably called predication save the grammatical operation. Predication, I argue, is what happens when we use a linguistic 'tool' having built it of two specific parts, already furnished with certain inferential roles, conspire to produce a sentence with a specific inferntial potential, which then can be used within a plentitude of our language games.
