Meaning of PREDICATIVE in English

adjective

EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS

Existence claims, after all, involve certain claims about concepts, and concepts are represented by predicative expressions.

In a sentential context, they are represented by syntactically incomplete predicative expressions.

It should be noted that the same is true of ordinary predicative adjectives - further evidence of their special similarity.

Parallel to the division of adjunct, we may divide sub-clauses into attributive clauses, predicative clauses and adverbial clauses.

The exclusion of associative adjectives from predicative position is an automatic result.

The structure will therefore match exactly what is achieved by the use of ordinary predicative position.
