Metalinguistic negation and echoic use*
What I hope to achieve in this paper is some rather deeper understanding of the semantic and pragmatic properties of utterances which are said to involve the phenomenon of metalinguistic negation. According to Larry Horn, who has been primarily responsible for drawing our attention to it, this is a special non-truthfunctional use of the negation operator, which can be glossed as 'I object to U'...
متن کاملHow Metalinguistic Negation Differs from Descriptive Negation: ERP Evidence
This talk explores degree adverbial modifiers licensed exclusively by metalinguistic negation (MN), and compares them with those licensed by descriptive negation (DN) such as NPIs. It shows how MN-licensing is more marked than DN-licensing in prosody and then attempts to show how anomalies arising from misplacing MN-licensed adverbs in DN-requiring short form negation sentences elicit the appro...
متن کامل1 On metalinguistic comparatives and negation in Greek
In this paper, we identify a paradigm of metalinguistic comparatives in Greek headed by the preposition para. Para clauses are lexically distinct from other comparatives clauses in Greek (headed by apo, apoti). Building on earlier intuitions, we propose a semantics of metalinguistic MORE as a contrast between two propositions in terms of how appropriate of preferred they are by some individual....
متن کاملInformation Structure in PA/SN or Descriptive/ Metalinguistic Negation: With Reference to Scalar Implicatures1
This paper attempts to show how the information structure categories of Contrastive Topic (CT) and Contrastive Focus (CF) are correlated with PA (pero/aber) vs. SN (sino/sondern) respectively and also with DN (descriptive negation) vs. MN (metalinguistic negation) respectively when negative utterances are involved. Far Eastern and other languages including English will be investigated. It furth...
متن کاملEchoic memory in pigeons.
It is unknown whether birds are able to retain the memory of purely sensory auditory information such as white noise over an extended period of time. In a Pavlovian heart rate conditioning paradigm, four pigeons were trained to associate a mild electric shock with periodic random waveforms, and no shock with aperiodic noise. Periodic waveform detection requires echoic memory, i.e., the online r...
