Abstract
In his monumental A History of Formal Logic,1 in the section on Scholastic Logic (Part III), Father Bocheński comments (p. 173) that if we ask how the expression Supposition’ is to be rendered in modern terms, we have to admit that it cannot be. ‘Supposition’ covers numerous semiotic functions for which we now have no common name. Some kinds of supposition quite clearly belong to semantics, as in the case of both material suppositions, and personal; others again, such as simple supposition and those into which personal supposition is subdivided, are. . . . not semantical but purely syntactical functions.

This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
