This document appears to be an assignment from the English Department at STAIN Salatiga in 2014 on the topic of semantics. It discusses the key concepts of predicator, predicate, and degree of predicate. It provides examples of identifying the predicator and predicates in sample sentences. It also explains that the degree of a predicate refers to the number of arguments it typically takes in a simple sentence.
