Description

Negation is a fundamental element of human language. Without the ability to negate, concepts like denial, contradiction, irony, and lies would not exist. This scholarly work, part of The Expression of Cognitive Categories series, provides a deep examination of the form and function of negative sentences across various languages. Readers will find comprehensive surveys regarding how children acquire negation and how adults process it. The text also explores the historical development of negation and its interaction with other operators and predicates within natural language sentences. By studying these linguistic structures, researchers can better understand the cognitive foundations of how we communicate what is not the case. This volume serves as an essential resource for those studying linguistics and cognitive psychology. It addresses complex topics such as negative polarity, the phenomenon of pleonastic or illogical negation, and the specific roles played by morphological and syntactic elements in the expression of negation.
