How 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 کاملMetalinguistic 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'...

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 کاملThe metalinguistic perspective in mathematics∗
In this paper I consider three technical arguments in logic which have been held by various authors at diverse times to have consequences for the philosophy of mathematics. The first is Frege’s permutation argument, which Davidson (1979) has used to show that proper names have a determinate reference only in a relative sense. The second is the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, which (like its close rel...
متن کاملCommonsense Spatial Reasoning: an Informational Perspective from Pervasive Computing
Pervasive Computing systems are characterized by possibly mobile components distributed in the environment and are devoted to collect, process and manage information in order to support users in different kind of activities. High-level correlation of information in such context can be defined, exploiting a formal model arising from the spatial disposition of information sources, as a form of co...
