Negation of Noun Phrases with not
In this paper, I give a semantic account of the grammaticality of the negative particle not with noun phrases in English. On the way to developing my solution, I explore a few previous attempts at this problem, including an extension of Horn’s discussion of the availability of NEG-Q readings (Horn, 1989) and Barwise and Cooper’s treatment of this phenomenon within the generalized quantifiers ap...
متن کامل"Not not bad" is not "bad": A distributional account of negation
With the increasing empirical success of distributional models of compositional semantics, it is timely to consider the types of textual logic that such models are capable of capturing. In this paper, we address shortcomings in the ability of current models to capture logical operations such as negation. As a solution we propose a tripartite formulation for a continuous vector space representat...
متن کاملWhy the Negation Problem Is Not a Problem for Expressivism
In 1999, Unwin introduced a puzzle about expressivism and negation. He showed that existing accounts of expressivism cannot accommodate even the simplest case of negated normative judgments involving the permissible, the required, and the forbidden. Since descriptivist accounts of normative language do not have a problem accommodating these cases, Unwin believed that the problem was a problem s...

متن کاملNegation's Not Solved: Reconsidering Negation Annotation and Evaluation
s (1,273 abstracts also in the GENIA corpus). Here, the scope of negation is specified as the maximum span within which the negation cue word could be applicable, and the scope cannot be disjoint from the cue word. This is in contrast to the negation annotations we explore; we do not explore scope annotations for two reasons: First, the lack of gold standard named entity mentions is an addition...
