Hi,

I'm currently researching H. P. Grice's dictum, in 'Logic and Conversation', that there are divergences between 'not' and '~' (Studies in the Way of Words, p. 22), and wonder if a specific study has been done on the different ways of expressing negation (or translating Latin 'non', or English 'not') in the various 'artificial languages', including Lojban. Any lead will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

JL
