| Abstract: | The aim of this article is to discuss the configuration and the discursive functioning of negation in the contemporary Romanian political discourse. Our study is based on the premise that the different types of negation are actualizations of the descriptive or the interpretive use (Sperber, Wilson 1995: 232). We discuss negation in terms of the mental actions the negative operator has on the material found in its scope: description of a negative content and rejection of a representation, respectively. We delimit between descriptive negation and metarepresentational negation as broad categories in which several structures are included. The analysis reveals the complexity of negation both at a cognitive and at a discursive level. |
