Section.8.3
... The order of a predicate is 1 if its arguments are terms. Otherwise the order is n + 1 where n is the maximum order of the arguments that are not terms. The order of a function is always 1 since it’s arguments are always terms. Examples. In the wff p(x) q(x, p) the order of p is one and the order ...

Propositional Logic: Part I - Semantics

Between Truth and Falsity
