Moods and negation
نویسنده
چکیده
According to the received view (for example [9]), there are three logico-semantic moods: indicative, imperative and interrogative, and there are two main components in natural language sentences: modal element (which determines sentence’s mood) and sentence radical. On the other hand, it seems that the received view on the sentence components is challenged by the fact that there are two ways to negate a sentence: by negating its content (its radical) and by performing a negative speech act. Alf Ross, who was one of the founders of imperative logic, drew a cognate distinction: there are imperatives with ”negated theme of demand” and there are imperatives with ”negated factor of demand”.
