| Research Abstract |
This research proposes that Horn's (1985) descriptive/metalinguistic dichotomy of negation should be replaced with a distinction between OBJECTION and DESCRIPTION, and that the taxonomy with an abstract, logical view of negation should be replaced by a functional, cognitive-pragmatic (relevance-theoretic) view. Horn's descriptive negation (DN) represents a truth-functional operator, taking a proposition p into a proposition not-p, and "metalinguistic" negation (MN) represents a non-truth-functional operator, objecting to a previous utterance. This research extracts three properties that contribute to the taxonomy of negation (i.e. objection as a function, attribution in Wilson's(2000) sense, and the conceptuality of the negation target), and concludes that the 'attribution' of the lower representation (and its resulting function 'objection'), but not truth-functionality, is a crucial property for the dichotomy of sentence negation.
