Abstract: An algebra $\A= (A,F)$ is subregular alias regular with respect to a unary term function $g$ if for each $\Theta, \Phi\in\CA$ we have $\Theta= \Phi$ whenever $[g(a)]_{\Theta} = [g(a)]_{\Phi}$ for each $a\in A$. We borrow the concept of a deductive system from logic to modify it for subregular algebras. Using it we show that a subset $C\subseteq A$ is a class of some congruence on $\Theta$ containing $g(a)$ if and only if $C$ is this generalized deductive system. This method is efficient (needs a finite number of steps).
