AMPLIATIVE JUDGMENTS or PROPOSITIONS are those in which something is affirmed that is not included in the definition or connotation of the subject. When the predicate merely unfolds or analyses the meaning of the subject, the pro position is called "explicative." (When the predicate is a genus or differentia of the subject, the proposition is explicative ; if the predicate is a proprium or accidens the proposition is amplia tive. See PREDICABLES.) Instead of "ampliative" the terms "augmentative" and "synthetic" are also used; and the terms "analytic" and "verbal" are sometimes used instead of "explica tive." (See ANALYSIS and Locrc.)
