This work originates from the need to develop an integrated dynamic
model of negation in discourse that is adequate for understanding
the role of negation in an extensive and complex piece of
discourse. Most work on negation is strongly influenced by
traditional philosopical problems, but little work has been carried
out in the area of discourse. Approaches to negation within the
functional-cognitive tradition tend to focus of specific agents of
negation, its function as a speech act, or its cognitive model. Few
attempts have been made to propose an integrated discourse model,
studies of negation with few exceptions tend to be limited to brief
selections or isolated sentences. This book fills the gap in
studies of negation in discourse by providing an up-to-date
critical review of the state of the art in negation and by
proposing a model that brings together the semantic, cognitve, and
pragmatic features of negation, which are crucial for an
understanding of its role in disourse.
