qroqqa commented on the word specifying
One of the two kinds of relationship of a predicative complement (PC) to its predicand (the subject) after the verb 'be'. A specifying use specifies what the predicand is identical with, and the PC can normally be swapped with the subject: for example, 'Mary is my tutor', 'My tutor is Mary'. The other kind of use is the ascriptive.
