Three Kinds of Event Nominal Negation in Russian

Semantic and pragmatic processes in the comprehension of negation: An event related potential study of negative polarity sensitivity

Most previous studies on negation have generally only focused on sentential negation (not), but the time course of processing negative meaning from different sources remains poorly understood. In an ERP study (Experiment 1), we make use of the negationsensitivity of negative polarity items (NPIs) and examine the time course of processing different kinds of negation. Four kinds of NPI-licensing ...

Existential Sentences, Be, and the Genitive of Negation in Russian

The Genitive of Negation (Gen Neg) in Russian involves alternation of Genitive with Nominative or Accusative under conditions which have been debated for many decades. What gives the construction its name is that Gen Neg occurs only under sentential negation; other allegedly crucial factors include topic-focus structure, unaccusativity, perspectival structure, the lexical semantics of the verb,...

Logic programming with default, weak and strict negations

This paper looks at logic programming with three kinds of negation: default, weak and strict negations. A 3-valued logic model theory is discussed for logic programs with three kinds of negation. The procedure is constructed for negations so that a soundness of the procedure is guaranteed in terms of 3-valued logic model theory.
