 Note that the generic object is not unanimously accepted as the signified even among authors that admit that it is the apprehended object of conceptual awareness. Chumikpa for instance prescribes as signified “a generic object mixed with a generic word.” Accordingly, what appears in conceptual cognition upon hearing a particular word is a mixed aspect of the corresponding generic word and generic object. The extra-mental entity is obtained via an operation of determination pertaining to the generic object, which is the apprehended object of conceptual awareness.
