Abstract:

Truth without Predication contains an original analysis of the existential
there-sentence from a philosophical-linguistic perspective. At its core is the
claim that there-sentences' form is distinct from that of ordinary
subject–predicate sentences, and that this fundamental difference explains the
construction's unusual grammatical and discourse properties. Taking as a point
of departure a suggestion made in Strawson's Individuals, this book explores
the idea that it is possible to say something true by correctly 'placing' a
'feature', but without involving predication as normally understood.
