Abstract:

Negation is one of the most discussed phenomena within linguistics, on all
language levels though it never seems to be exhausted. This operator
establishes complex sentence structures and constantly challenges – from a
cognitive, syntactical, semantic and morphologic viewpoint – presuppositions
on language internal relations as rational and logic. It therefore arouses
interest through all fields within language sciences. From a pragmatic
perspective, where negation is conceived a marked structure, using negation
often produces meanings beyond the one of a reversed affirmation "it is not
the case that X”. This book explores the various uses and pragmatic meanings
of negation in authentic communication, in different text types and in
different languages, predominately romance languages. The multilingual
composition marries a macro-micro perspective where aspects of genre,
sociocultural context, memory, rhetoric and argumentation interplay with the
negative morpheme’s nature and embedded instructions. This broad approach
makes this book a unique contribution to negation studies and to pragmatics in
general. The book is important and enriching reading for scholars in all
linguistic domains, but particularly for researchers in semantics, pragmatics,
argumentation and, discourse analysis.
