 The primary semantic property of a word is its significatio, in Peter’s definition, the “representation of a thing by a word in accordance with convention”. It is a natural property of a word, the presentation of some (universal) content to the mind. The significatio of a word depends on its imposition, i.e., the application originally given to the word in question. A word can have more than one significatio, if it was originally applied to two or more distinct (universal) natures.
