gloss: Something that can be claimed.
pos: noun
examples: The A.D.A. figures utilized in this study include the claimables for state aid plus the nonclaimables.
So, for example, if the conditional and negation introduced in terms of pragmatic incompatibility really are a conditional and negation — letting us say that two claimables are inferentially related as premise and conclusion, or that they are incompatible — then what those locutions work on must be genuine propositional contents — what appears embedded as the antecedent of the conditional, or is negated.
But it does not follow that there were no true claimables.

Love sells, so people have to work.
That’s why, when I received a message that my one-time chocolate-making mentor, Philippe Vetault, was retiring from his Brittany-based chocolaterie, I jumped at the chance to attend his au revoir party.

If an engaged person was caught having sex with someone other than their espoused partner, it was considered adultery, and the law was clear regarding the punishment for such sin: " If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife (those engaged were referred to as 'husband and wife'), both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge this eveil from Israel." (Deut. 22:22)
Already in the thinking of Luther, where this process was only barely developed and fell together with the emphatic commandment to the husband to love his espoused partner, there is an indication of the mechanism that was later employed to place limits on the.liberatory element this development harbors, namely, via a gender-specific division of labor and the associated process of the "polarizing of sexual steriotypes."
