    This document defines and provides examples of four types of relationships between categorical propositions: 1) Contradictories are pairs where one proposition negates the other, such as an A proposition and its negation as an O proposition. 2) Contraries are pairs that cannot both be true but can both be false, such as an A proposition and an E proposition. 3) Subcontraries are pairs that cannot both be false but can both be true, and if one is false the other must be true, such as an I proposition and an O proposition. 4) The examples provided illustrate each of these relationships between categorical propositions.

    Opposition: Occurs when two

    standard-form categorical propositions


    refer to the same subject and
    predicate classes, but differ in quality,
    quantity, or both.

    Contradictories: Pairs of propositions in


    which one is the negation of the other.AandO-propositions are contradictories, as
    areE- andI-propositions.
    Ex.
    A: All senators are politicians
    O: Some senator are not politicians
    E: No sheep are predators
    I: Many sheep are predators

    Ex.
    A : All soaps are cleanser
    O: Some soap are not cleansers
    E: No women are married
    I: Some women are married

    Contraries: Pairs of propositions that cannot


    both be true at the same time, but can both
    be false at the same time.A- andEpropositions are contraries.
    Ex.
    A: All flowers are roses
    E: No flowers are roses
    A: All animals are amphibians
    E: No animals are amphibians

    Subcontraries: Pairs of propositions that cannot both


    be false at the same time, but can both be true; also,
    if one is false, then the other must be true.I- andOpropositions aresubcontraries.
    Ex.
    I: Some basketball player are tall
    O: Some basketball player are not tall
    I: Some apples are green
    O: Some apples are not green
    I: Some triangles are squares
    O: Some triangles are not squares
