	Predicate (grammar) - Wikipedia
		In traditional grammar, a predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence (the other being the subject, which the predicate modifies).
		A Predicate Nominal is a noun phrase that functions as the main predicate of a sentence, such as "George III is the king of England", the king of England being the Predicate Nominal.
		The secondary predicate in this case is ambiguous between standing in a nexus with the subject of the sentence or with the object of the sentence.

		The predicate of any sentence is that part which says something about the subject and is composed of, at the very least, the verb.
		The simple predicate is the verb, which may have modifiers that include adverbial phrases, adjectival phrases introduced by a relative adverb, and verbals, forming the complete predicate.
		An indirect object is a noun or pronoun in the predicate that precedes the direct object and indicates to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done.

	RDF/XML Syntax Specification (Revised)
		The formal grammar for the syntax is annotated with actions generating triples of the RDF graph as defined in RDF Concepts and Abstract Syntax.
		Predicates are RDF URI references and can be interpreted as either a relationship between the two nodes or as defining an attribute value (object node) for some subject node.
		In RDF/XML, the sequence of 5 nodes and predicate arcs on the left hand side of Figure 2 corresponds to the usage of five XML elements of two types, for the graph nodes and predicate arcs.

	Subject and Predicate
		The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject.
		Likewise, a predicate has at its centre a simple predicate, which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject.
		The second sentence above features a compound predicate, a predicate that includes more than one verb pertaining to the same subject (in this case, "walked" and "admired").

		Predicate words have a structure (C)VCV or (C)VCVCV where C is a consonant and V is a vowel.
		In English grammar, the functor corresponds to the verb; the arguments correspond to nouns, pronouns, et cetera.
		When a predicate word precedes another predicate word, the former modifies the latter in the way an adjective describes a noun or an adverb describes a verb in English.

		This is the fundamental notion of Loglan grammar.
		The predicates for 'is rained on' and 'is wet' are crina [SHREE-nah] and cetlo [SHET-loh].
		In fact, we would go further and argue that the predicate 'is red' in the sentence 'That house is red' is not used literally at all, but as an abbreviation for 'is a red house'; in short, that the speaker means to claim that the house in question is red for and as a house.

		In traditional grammar, the essential elements of the sentence or clause not counting the subject.
		There is also a semantic dimension to the distinction between subject and predicate in traditional grammar: the subject is what you are speaking about, and the predicate is what you say about it.
		The term predicate, from Latin praedicare "to state", corresponds to the Greek rhêma "verb", hence "verbal expression", so the pair of terms subject and predicate could be seen as corresponding to the pair theme and rheme.

		The predicate frames carry their own content; this is the explanation of how predicates realised in a very unusual or brand new frame can be accepted and understood within the prototypical content of the frame chosen, however unusual.
		In this way, Predicate Formation rules are deprived of part of their generative power and restricted to the formulation of transcategorial derivational processes.
		In this paper we present the structure of a lexical database of verbal predicates that follows closely the principles established by Dik's Functional Grammar: the absence of abstract semantic primitives, the incorporation of the principle of stepwise lexical decomposition, the specification of meaning through definitions that are underlying structures and so on.

		The good news is that if you have a grammar in which you have addressed all reported ambiguities you are ok. The bad news is that you may have spent time fixing ambiguities that were not real, or used k=2 when ck=2 might have been sufficient, and so on.
		The predicate literal associated with a predicate symbol is C or C++ code which can be used to test the condition.
		When a predicate symbol is defined with both a predicate literal and a predicate expression, the predicate literal is used to generate code, but the predicate expression is used to check for two alternatives with identical predicates in both alternatives.

	Humbug's Grammar - Subject and Predicate
		More often than not a subject will be next to the verb - often the subject and verb are the first two words in a sentence - so it is important to be able to spot those times when groups of words (modifying phrases and clauses) separate the simple subject and the verb.
		Likewise, a predicate has at its center a simple predicate, which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject.
		A sentence may have a compound predicate, a predicate that includes more than one verb pertaining to the same subject.
