Conceptually dependent
The property associated with relational predications which rely on other concepts in order to have their meaning completed. For example, in a sentence such as: Max hid his mum's mobile phone under the bed, the verb hid relates the conceptually autonomous entities Max, mum's mobile phone and bed, establishing a relationship involving 'hiding' between them. Similarly, under establishes a spatial relation between mum's mobile phone and bed.
