- Abstract
- The notion of presupposition, which came into linguistics from logic, brought into existence thenotion of assertion. Hence the notion of standard negation – the negation which negates the assertionand preserves the presuppositions. The paper deals with non-standard negations. The fi rst example isdisplaced negation, a construction in which the negative particle is attached to the verb, and not tothe word bearing the main phrasal accent (Ja ne obvinjaju ego v nacionalizme ‘I don’t accuse him ofnationalism’), so that it is unclear what is asserted and what is negated. Another non-standard negationis wide scope, or global negation. It owes its existence to a communicative transformation of a sentenceas a result of which the adverbial that was initially the semantic head of the sentence, lowers its statusand falls within the scope of the preverbal negation, as if it were an argument of the verb (Ona ne stanetmenjat’ svoi plany iz-za tebja ‘she won’t change her plans because of you’). The main attention is drawnto the construction with radical negation: it seems at fi rst sight that this negation negates presupposition.It is demonstrated that negative sentences with this construction have no non-negative counterpart.Thus, the presupposition, in any case, preserves its status of a non-negatable semantic component.
