Refereed, _Journal of Pragmatics_, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Descriptive/metalinguistic Dichotomy?: Toward a New Taxonomy of Negation, Akiko Yoshimura, This paper proposes, based on Japanese data, that Horn's (1985) descriptive/metalinguistic dichotomy of negation should be replaced with a distinction between OBJECTION and DESCRIPTION, and that the taxonomy with an abstract, logical view of negation should be replaced by a functional, cognitive-pragmatic (relevance-theoretic) view. Horn's descriptive negation (DN) represents a truthfunctional operator, taking a proposition p into a proposition not-p, and "metalinguistic" negation (MN) represents a non-truth-functional operator, objecting to a previous utterance. While it is hard for English to distinguish ON from MN based only on their forms, Japanese external negation is marked by a number of forms, each of which is sensitive to different properties. Based on a close examination of three Japanese negatives, nai (:= not), node wa nai it is not that...) and wake de wa nai it does not follow/mean that...), this paper extracts three properties that contribute to the taxonomy of negation (i.e. objection as a function, attribution in Wilson's (2000) sense, and the conceptuality of the negation target), and concludes that the 'attribution' of the lower representation (and its resulting function 'objection'), but not truth-functionality, is a crucial property for the dichotomy of (at least Japanese) sentence negation.

Not Refereed, Annual report of Graduate Division of Human Culture, Nara Women's University, Metalinguistic Negation and "wake de wa nai" in Japanese, Yoshimura Akiko, Horn (2001: 377) proposes a descriptive/metalinguistic dichotomy of negation: descriptive negation is a truth-functional operator, focusing on propositional content and taking a proposition p into a proposition not-p (e.g. A pig doesn't fly), and metalinguistic negation is a non-truth-functional operator, objecting to any aspects of an utterance except for its propositional content (e.g. Tom didn't trap two mongeese; he trapped two mongooses).A Japanese negative sentence is usually formed by adding –na(i) ( ≒ English not) to the predicate at the end of the corresponding affirmative, as in Tom wa sushi o tabe-ru. (Tom eats sushi.) → Tom wasushi o tabe nai. (Tom doesn't eat sushi.). While it is hard for English to distinguish descriptive negation from metalinguistic negation based only on their forms, Japanese has another two types of negative operator marking external negation: node wa nai and wake de wa nai. Horn (2001) also suggests theuniversal status of the dichotomy above and refers to the Japanese wake de wa nai construction as 'specialized for expressing metalinguistic negation.'This paper provides the evidence to show that the wake de wa nai construction is not the one specialized for metalinguistic negation, and proposes the stipulation of the meaning encoded in wake de wa nai as a meta-conceptual negation : wake de wa nai denies the conclusion Q, which is drawn from the assumption P pre-existing in the context and correspondis to the representation embedded within the wake de wa nai construction, and objects to the validity of the inference P → Q. The result of this paper casts strong doubt on the universal status of Horn's dichotomy of negation and suggests the possibility of new taxonomy of negation., 31 Mar. 2010, 第25号,, 1, 13,, Scientific journal

This paper aims to provide a unified analysis as regards the target of MN, i. e. the aspects of the source of an echo that can be brought within the scope of a negation operator by the material echoed, from the cognitive processing point of view adopted by relevance theory. Limiting the data to MN cases where the source of an echo is an utterance (attributed utterance). I suggest that the target of MN should be stipulated as that which is expressed but not communicated by the attributed utterance., Dec. 2000, 第24号,, 109, 118,, International conference proceedings, True

Refereed, _English Linguistics_,, English Linguistic Society of Japan, "The Cognitive Structure of Negation as an NPI-Licensing Condition" (single-author), YOSHIMURA Akiko, This paper argues that negative polarity items like any and ever are words which constrain mental processes in the sense of Blakemore (1987), and this may be viewed as an NPI-licensing condition. These words require that a proposition corresponding to an utterance containing NPIs should be processed in what I call the cognitive structure of negation. Relevance theory, proposed by Sperber and Wilson (1986), provides an adequate way of describing this mental process. The infelicity of NPIs in certain environments which would pose problems for Ladusaw (1979) is explicable under my analysis. It leads us to an interesting claim about the human congnitive processing procedure. © 1992, The English Linguistic Society of Japan.

平成31(令和1)年度は、ストーリー・アイロニーに焦点を当て、アイロニー性に貢献する認知語用論的特性を抽出/ 特定し、その成果を第16回国際語用論学会で口頭発表した。例えば人は、『オイディプス王』のストーリー(「父親を殺す」という神託を受けたオイディプスは、それを避けるために国を離れ、たどり着いた国で怪物退治に関わるが、それと知らずに実の父親を殺すことになる)にアイロニーを感じる。状況アイロニーを含むストーリー・アイロニーをデータに、日本人被験者に調査を実施し、アイロニー性に貢献する認知特性を抽出し、その妥当性を確認した。すなわち、少なくとも日本人がアイロニー(皮肉)を認識するストーリーは、a「対象に対する先行認識と現実認識の間の反対関係的な偽の構造」(河上2018)が生じていること、b先行認識に伴われる意図/願望に基づく行動が現実認識の事象が生じる原因になっていることによって特徴づけられることを明らかにした。, rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations

Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Apr. 2014, Mar. 2018, 26370566, A Cognitive-Pragmatic Approach to Implicatures and Inference Rules: The Mechanism of Drawing Implicatures, YOSHIMURA Akiko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 4550000, 3500000, 1050000, This research aimed at finding out what inference rules actually contribute to the online processes of drawing implicatures in our communication and stipulating a general constraint on the process. Based on the analyses of various cases of implicatures in Japanese and English contexts, this research revealed that, contra Sperber and Wilson's (1995) claims, two types of inference other than deduction, i.e. induction (e.g. abstraction) and abduction, actually contribute to drawing implicatures, and claimed that "Relevance-Guided Comprehensio Heuristic" plays a crucial role as a constraint on this online implicature-drawing process, i.e. to stop the process at a proper point.
As for the classification of implicatures, based on the characteristics of the inference rules (whether the hearer's knowledge is expanded or not), this research proposed the dichotomy of implicatures: analytic implicatures and ampliative implicatures., url;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:misc;rm:books_etc;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2011, 2013, 23520586, A Cognitive-Pragmatic Approach to Taxonomy of Negation: Revisit to Descriptive/Metalinguistic Negation, AKIKO Yoshimura, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 3640000, 2800000, 840000, This research proposes that Horn's (1985) descriptive/metalinguistic dichotomy of negation should be replaced with a distinction between OBJECTION and DESCRIPTION, and that the taxonomy with an abstract, logical view of negation should be replaced by a functional, cognitive-pragmatic (relevance-theoretic) view. Horn's descriptive negation (DN) represents a truth-functional operator, taking a proposition p into a proposition not-p, and "metalinguistic" negation (MN) represents a non-truth-functional operator, objecting to a previous utterance. This research extracts three properties that contribute to the taxonomy of negation (i.e. objection as a function, attribution in Wilson's(2000) sense, and the conceptuality of the negation target), and concludes that the 'attribution' of the lower representation (and its resulting function 'objection'), but not truth-functionality, is a crucial property for the dichotomy of sentence negation., url;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:books_etc;rm:books_etc;rm:presentations;rm:presentations

This research revealed two points : 1) that metaphorical-utterance interpretations involve the addressee's construction, with her/his minimal efforts, of an abstracted schema which is the result of an elaboration to include its source as a prototype and its target as a (peripheral) member, and 2) that metaphorical utterances based on the story-level similarity communicate a new type of implicatures drawn by relevance-constrained inductive inference rules. These results lead to the radical modification and advancement of the most promising cognitive pragmatic theory, "Relevance Theory"., url;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations

(1) The target of metalinguistic negation is stipulated as "what is necessarily or generally accompanied but not communicated by its attributed utterance or thought."
(2) The encoded meaning of negatives in natural languages is more general than a truth-functional operator: The target of negation as a definition is not confined to the truth conditional meaning but includes what is necessarily or generally accompanied by its attributed utterance or thought.
(3) The Japanese language has a specific marker to indicate metarepresentational use of language, such as 〜no de wa nai.
All the uses of negation in natural languages are fundamentally metarepresentational. Metarepresentational Negation is classified into two groups: attributive use of negation and non-attributive use of negation. Each of these is again classified into two : meta-conceptual negation and meta-linguistic negation. Horn(1985)'s descriptive negation will be included in the non-attributive use of negation and his metalinguistic negation will be included in the attributive use of negation., rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:books_etc;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations;rm:presentations

Van der Wouden (1997) claims, based on his data from Dutch, that natural languages universally have a hierarchy of negative contexts which can be defined by the three Boolean properties, i.e.monotone decreasing(MD), anti-additive(AA), antimorphic(AM). This research examined its universality, discovered another property which contributes to the distinction of negative contexts in English and Japanese, and showed that the defining properties of the hierarchy of negation vary among languages. The main results are as follows : (a) native speakers of English are sensitive not to the above three properties but to what we called a'double negative property (DN)', (b) English language has a bias to the weak negative polarity items (NPIs), i.e., that a large part of English NPIs appear in the weakest MD negative contexts, (c) native speakers of Japanese are sensitive to DN and AM properties, (d) Japanese language has a bias to the strong NPIs, i.e., that most of the Japanese NPIs appear in the strongest AM negative contexts and DN contexts, (e) like Dutch, Japanese has bipolar elements such as'itteki-demo', which appear only in the weakest MD and the middle AA negative contexts but not in positive MI contexts nor in the strongest AM negative contexts. What is called'polarity' forms a scale which has two poles of AM and MI, and several grades of negation between them. This research has shown that the ways of our recognizing negative contexts with different strength are not identical among natural languages, though the semantic property of negative environments in the widest sense is universal., rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:published_papers;rm:misc;rm:books_etc;rm:books_etc;rm:books_etc;rm:presentations
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2005, 2007, 17520327, A Cognitive Pragmatics Approach to Metarepresentational Ability and Language Acquisition, UCHIDA Seiji; YOSHIMURA Akiko; MATSUI Tomoko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Women's University, 3560000, 3200000, 360000, The theme of the present research is to try to explore based on relevance theory how metarepresentaition is incorporated into language. Uchida chaired a symposium titled 'On metarepresentation' at the 24th national convention of the English Linguistic Society of Japan. He also read a paper and Matusi contributed to the symposium as one of the speakers. Matusi covered a wide range of metarepresentational phenomena and Uchida introduced a new approach to quotation.
The research results are seen in Uchida (2005, 2007a, 2007b), Yoshimura (2006, 2007a, 2007b), and Matsui (2005a, 2005b, 2006a, 2006b, 2007a, 2007b). Among others, Uchida (2005) applies metarepresentational phenomena to free indirect speech and Uchida (2007a) succeeds in explaining a relationship between deixis and metarepresentation.
Language acquisition is especially discussed in Uchida (2007b) and Matsui (2005a, 2005b). Uchida (2007b) takes Japanese verbs kureru / morau / ageru as linguistic items where metarepresentational processes are linguistically realized. Matsui (2005a, 2005b) discuss datte in the view of theory of mind. Yoshimura (2006) surveys previous studies on metalinguistic negation and proposes her own original ideas, which leads to the present research.
Uchida, et. al. (2008) is a translation of Robyn Carston's Thoughts and Utterances: The Pragmatics of Explicit Communication, to which Uchida and Matsui contributed. The book is a major publication in relevance theory since Sperber and Wilson's Relevance: Communication and Cognition, and the present translation will be of great help to the students and researchers in Japan who are interested in cognitive pragmatics and/or relevance theory.
