Formen und Funktionen der Negation - Untersuchungen zu den Erscheinungsweisen einer Sprachuniversalie

Negation is commonly understood as a grammatical operation intended to revoke claims to the factual validity of ideas and statements. This book transcends this rather limited understanding of the phenomenon to focus primarily on various anthropological, epistemological, semiotic, and meaning-generating forms of negation that until now have seldom been the objects of analysis.
