A Hierarchy of Weak Double Negations

Studia Logica, 2013
In this paper, a way of constructing many-valued paraconsistent logics with weak double negation axioms is proposed. A hierarchy of weak double negation axioms is addressed in this way. The many-valued paraconsistent logics constructed are defined as Gentzen-type sequent calculi. The completeness and cut-elimination theorems for these logics are proved

Double Negation

2019
AbstractThis chapter introduces the contours of the classical Ismāʿīlī negative theology of the divine essence. The apophatic path developed by Ismāʿīlī scholars had distinct cosmological markers and a logical structure that enabled the performative self-cancellation of discourse about the inaccessible divine essence.

Paraconsistent double negation as a modal operator

Math. Log. Q., 2016
The author constructs a sequent calculus \textsf{PM} for a ``paraconsistent modal-like logic'' dealing with a negation operator that can simulate the necessity-operator of the \textsf{S4}-type. Namely, the negation connective in \textsf{PM} is governed by the following rules: \[ {{\alpha, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}\over{{\sim\sim}\alpha, \Gamma ...

The Markedness of Double Negation

2015
Is Double Negation (DN) a marked interpretation with respect to Negative Concord (NC) as universally assumed? This is what is verified in this article that reports on actual usage in French and English. It investigates three configurations with multiple clause-mate negative expressions (clausal negator with a n-word, two n-words, and two clausal ...
