It is called a singular or particularized proposition.

A singular proposition has a determinate individual as subject, such as Zayd or this particular book. The judgment concerns that individual, not every human or every book.

“Zayd is standing” — the claim concerns Zayd.
“This book is useful” — the claim concerns one specified book.
