CATEGORY OF NEGATION: LOGICAL-LINGUISTIC ASPECT

Abstract

In the linguistic literature of recent decades, a significant number of works have accumulated on the question of the characteristics and functioning of negation, which indicates that negation is one of the fundamental categories of language. And indeed, it is a universal, initial semantic category inherent in absolutely all languages of the world. Its roots go back to ancient times: in the oldest written monuments of languages of different families, the category of negation appears as complete, having its own form and content, along with the category of affirmation [2, p. 9].
