Noh, Eun-Ju. 2016. On an ERP experimental study of metalinguistic negation: A reply to Lee(2015). Discourse and Cognition x. xxx Since Horn(1985) drew attention to metalinguistic negation, there have been many studies on the difference in meaning between descriptive and metalinguistic negation. Most of the studies concentrate on whether their meanings are semantically ambiguous or not. Recently some experiments have been made to seek for a more scientific answer to the question. In this paper, we examine Chungmin Lee (2015) “Metalinguistically negated verses descriptively negated adverbials: ERP and other evidence.” Lee claims that his experiments support Horn’s account of metalinguistic negation as pragmatic ambiguity rather than the relevance-theoretic approach. As the first ERP study of metalinguistic negation, as far as we know, his study is very meaningful and valuable. However, the procedures and analyses of its experiments have many problems so that their results are not convincing. Their N400 effects show that Korean short-form negation is not used with the adverbs like ‘yekan’ or ‘pothong,’ but they do not exclusively support Horn’s pragmatic ambiguity. Finally, his criticisms against the relevance-theoretic account, specifically, Noh et al.(2013), are based on misunderstanding or careless reading of the paper. (Inha University)

Abstract

Noh, Eun-Ju. 2016. On an ERP experimental study of metalinguistic negation: A reply to Lee(2015). Discourse and Cognition x. xxx Since Horn(1985) drew attention to metalinguistic negation, there have been many studies on the difference in meaning between descriptive and metalinguistic negation. Most of the studies concentrate on whether their meanings are semantically ambiguous or not. Recently some experiments have been made to seek for a more scientific answer to the question. In this paper, we examine Chungmin Lee (2015) “Metalinguistically negated verses descriptively negated adverbials: ERP and other evidence.” Lee claims that his experiments support Horn’s account of metalinguistic negation as pragmatic ambiguity rather than the relevance-theoretic approach. As the first ERP study of metalinguistic negation, as far as we know, his study is very meaningful and valuable. However, the procedures and analyses of its experiments have many problems so that their results are not convincing.
