Negation and Double-Negation of Chinese Oppositeness

, 2013
Oppositeness refers to the paradigmatic relationship of two words holding the contrast meanings. The fact that linguistic opposite differs from logical contrast has been discussed in theories, but has not been tested in practice. In this paper, we investigate three main subtypes of Chinese oppositeness, via using logical tests of negation and double ...

Double Negation Operator in Logic N ∗

Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 2015
Summary: We obtain an axiomatization of the double Routley negation operator as a necessity operator in the logic \(N^*\). We introduce the logic \(N^\sharp\) describing the behavior of the double Routley negation operator, define the Kripke semantics of \(N^\sharp\), prove its completeness, and establish the finite approximation property and ...

Paraconsistent Double Negation That Can Simulate Classical Negation

2016 IEEE 46th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL), 2016
A new classical paraconsistent logic (CP), which is a variant of Nelson's paraconsistent four-valued logic, is introduced as a Gentzen-type sequent calculus. The logic CP can simulate the classical negation in classical logic by paraconsistent double negation in CP.

Kiranti double negation

Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area, 2017
AbstractIt is shown how Kiranti languages often express a semantically single clausal negation of a declarative verbal main clause with two clausal negators. We conjecture that the second negator has its origin in a copula and that the reinterpretation and integration of the copula into a negative construction follows the scenario known as a “Jespersen

Solving the problem of double negation is not impossible: electrophysiological evidence for the cohesive function of sentential negation

Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017
In natural languages, two negating elements that cancel each other out (as in not impossible) are logically equivalent to the non-negated word form (in this case, possible).

The Acquisition of Double Negation in Italian

, 2019
This experimental study aims to investigate at what age Italian children master the logical concept of double negation, according to which two negatives cancel each other out yielding a positive meaning. Previous acquisitional studies on child languages indicate that children show a cross-linguistic preference for a negative concord interpretation of ...

Prosody and gesture constrain the interpretation of double negation [PDF]

Lingua, 2013
The phenomenon of double negation (DN), by which two negative elements negate each other in such a way that a positive interpretation is obtained, has traditionally been considered in terms of its syntactic and semantic grammatical properties.

Double negation and iconicity

2007
Typological research suggests that double negation - the use of two negative markers to denote one negative meaning - is a popular strategy amongst a wide variety of languages. This paper focuses on two types of double negation. The first type, exemplified by Fr. Je ne chante pas ‘I don’t sing’, consists of a discontinuous sentence negator.
