| Abstract | Providing pragmatic support for negation involves envoking implicatures concerning the relevance of preceding context. Combined with the comprehender’s world knowledge, this imposes constraints on upcoming words in a sentence, in other words altering their predictability (generally cloze probability). It is therefore uncertain whether the increased symmetry of processing between affirmative and negated sentences in this type of context is accounted for by pragmatic support per se, or by how predictable the critical word is, since predictability can also be manipulated independently of pragmatic felicity. |
