plzzz mark me as brainest
Explanation:
The common law decision has the form "This ci is an Lj" where ci is a
set of facts and Lj is a predicate such as "battery," "breach of contract"
or the like. Thus, common law can be said to be comprised of a set of
predicate expressions2 together with the rules or conditions for their appro-
priate use in decisions. 3 But if common law is in part comprised of a set
of predicate expressions, their meaning should be of great interest, and at
least in part determinative of the propriety of any instance of their ascription.
If one understands clearly the semantics of common law predicates-how it
is they have meaning-one will be that much closer to understanding the
nature of the common law.
This paper is an attempt at elucidating the semantics of common law
predicates. It thus fits within the semantic branch of the traditional tripartite
subdivision of semiotics into syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. 4
