 In the third sense, terms can also be said to signify certain things they are not truly predicable of, no matter the tense or modality of the copula. For instance, the word ‘brave’ not only makes us think of brave people (whether presently existing or not); it also makes us think of the bravery in virtue of which we call them “brave.” Thus, ‘brave’ signifies and is truly predicable of brave people, but also signifies bravery, even though it is not truly predicable of bravery. (Bravery is not brave.) This kind of signification is called “secondary” signification.  To  a first approximation, we can say that a “connotative” term is just a term that has a secondary signification, and that such a connotative term “connotes” exactly what it secondarily signifies; in short, connotation is just secondary  signification.[18]  The fourth sense, finally, is the broadest one: according to it any linguistic unit, including a whole sentence, can be said to signify whatever things it makes us think of in some way or other. A sentence signifies in this sense whatever it is that its terms primarily or secondarily signify.
