Chapter 3. The Logic of Relatives (cont.)
§2. Relatives
218. A relative is term whose definition describes what sort of a system of objects that is whose first member (which
is termed the ''relate'') is denoted by the term; and names for the other members of the system (which are termed the
''correlates'') are usually appended to limit the denotation still further. In these systems the order of the members
is essential; so that (A, B, C) and (A, C, B) are different systems. As an example of a relative, take ‘buyer of ──
for ── from ── ’; we may append to this three correlates, thus ‘buyer of every horse of a certain description in the
market for a good price from its owner’.
219. A relative of only one correlate, so that the system it supposes is a pair, may be called a ''dual'' relative; a
relative of more than one correlate may be called ''plural''; A non-relative term may be called a term of ''singular
reference''.
