Beyond descriptive and metalinguistic negation

Although the distinction between descriptive and metalinguistic negation is well established, there is no general agreement on what triggers metalinguistic negation, how it is processed by the addressee, or what its scope is. The articles of this Special Collection offer a fine-grained analysis of metalinguistic negation at the syntax, semantics and pragmatics interfaces from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
