title: Representational limitations of the one-place predicate.
abstract: In the context of Hurford's claim that "some feature of language structure maps onto a feature of primitive mental representations," I will argue that Hurford's focus on 1-place predicates as the basis of the "mental representations of situations in the world" is problematic, particularly with respect to spatiotemporal events. A solution is proposed.
