predication

noun

Etymology: From Middle English predicacion, from Anglo-Norman predicaciun, from Latin praedicātiō, from praedicō.

1. A proclamation, announcement or preaching.
2. An assertion or affirmation.

   “It can be immediately observed from these sentences that the English subject of a predication is translated in Japanese with a wa-phrase, while the subject of a nonpredicational description appears as a ga-phrase.”

3. The act of making something the subject or predicate of a proposition.
4. The parallel execution of all possible outcomes of a branch instruction, all except one of which are discarded after the branch condition has been evaluated.
