This paper is aiming to analyze the occurence and some functional and pragmatic aspects of the types of negation in all Lucian Blaga’s volumes of poetry. By using a quantitative approach, we have proved the stylistic effect of negation in his poetry and the importance of the negation with positive connotations in his verse. Beginning with the verbal negation, this paper goes through all the other types of it acoording to Rodica Zafiu’s classification: the negation of constituent, the expletive negation, the pro-sentence and the restrictions with a negative form.

This paper re-examines the syntactic properties of the sentence-final particle (henceforth, SFP) in Hong Kong Cantonese (henceforth, Cantonese). Despite studies such as Lam 2014, Tang 2020, and Law et al. 2024, variation persists among native speakers in their judgments regarding the acceptability of SFP clusters such as . Additionally, Law et al.’s (2024) preliminary observation that involves an addressee shift remains underexplored. To address these issues, this paper investigates whether can co-occur with the class of Degree SFPs (Tang 2015a). The results reveal that there are two distinct s: one operating at the propositional level and the other at the speech act level. To capture this contrast, I propose that [A] is an SFP occupying the head of F3P, which is one of the layers of the split-FP under the cartographic approach (Tang 2015b). On the other hand, [B] is a pro-sentence merged with the antecedent sentence by an empty conjunction, forming a general conjunctive structure. The proposed account provides better empirical coverage compared to previous literature (Lam 2014; Law et al. 2024) and enhances our understanding of the nature of the left periphery in natural languages.

Una comprensión adecuada del funcionamiento de las adscripciones de verdad, en el contexto de la filosofía del lenguaje contemporánea, permite la asunción de diferentes aproximaciones pragmatistas al tema de la verdad que parecen, a primera vista, incompatibles. En particular, algunas de las tesis defendidas por Haack pueden sostenerse conjuntamente con algunas de las afirmaciones de Rorty. En un contexto pragmático que respeta la Máxima Pragmatista, el artículo se propone disipar parte de la confusión que rodea a la noción de verdad. A correct understanding of the functioning of truth ascriptions, in the context of the contemporary philosophy of language, permits the assumption of different pragmatist approaches to truth that seem, at first glance, incompatible. In particular, some theses defended by Haack can be maintained together with some claims made by Rorty. Using a pragmatic background that respects the Pragmatist Maxim, the paper attempts to dispel part of the confusion that surrounds the notion of truth.
