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.
