“that philosophers are very liable to be misled by the subject-predicate construction of our language...that all propositions must be of the subject-predicate form, and so have been led to deny the existence of relations... all philosophers, including Mr Russell himself, have been misled by language in a far more far-reaching way than that... the whole theory of particulars and universals is due to mistaking for a fundamental characteristic of reality what is merely a characteristic of language.”
