Mood classification of blog text is an interesting problem, with a potential for a variety of services involving the Web. This paper introduces an approach to mood classification enhancements through the normalized negation n-grams which contain mood clues and corpus-specific term weighting(CSTW). We've done experiments on blog texts with two different classification methods: Enhanced Mood Flow Analysis(EMFA) and Support Vector Machine based Mood Classification(SVMMC). It proves that the normalized negation n-gram method is quite effective in dealing with negations and gave gradual improvements in mood classification with EMF A. From the selection of CSTW, we noticed that the appropriate weighting scheme is important for supporting adequate levels of mood classification performance because it outperforms the result of TF*IDF and TF.

${\bot}$It is often said that in a purely formal perspective, intuitionistic logic has no obvious advantage to deal with the liar-type paradoxes. In this paper, we will argue that the standard intuitionistic natural deduction systems are vulnerable to the liar-type paradoxes in the sense that the acceptance of the liar-type sentences results in inference to absurdity (${\perp}$). The result shows that the restriction of the Double Negation Elimination (DNE) fails to block the inference to ${\perp}$. It is, however, not the problem of the intuitionistic approaches to the liar-type paradoxes but the lack of expressive power of the standard intuitionistic natural deduction system. We introduce a meta-level negation, ⊬$_s$, for a given system S and a meta-level absurdity, ⋏, to the intuitionistic system. We shall show that in the system, the inference to ${\perp}$ is not given without the assumption that the system is complete. Moreover, we consider the Double Meta-Level Negation Elimination rules (DMNE) which implicitly assume the completeness of the system. Then, the restriction of DMNE can rule out the inference to ${\perp}$.

A fundamental problem in building an intelligent agent is that an agent does not understand the meaning of its perception or its action. One reason that an agent cannot understand the world is partially caused by a syntactic approach that converts a semantic feature into a simple string. To solve this problem, Cohen introduces a semantic approach that an agent autonomously learns a meaningful representation of physical schemas, on which some advanced conceptual structures are built, from physically interacting with environment using its own sensors and effectors. However, Cohen does not deal with a meta level of conceptual primitive that makes recognizing a schema possible. We propose that negation is a meta schema that enables an agent to recognize a physical schema. We prove some semantic aspects of negation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate opposites acquisition and tendency of processing negations about directional oppositionality from 3- to 6-old Korean children. The data were collected from 80 children from a daycare center and 20 university students in Busan, Korea. In Experiment 1, participants were asked to produce opposites for common terms related to colors, directions, and dimension adjectives. In Experiment 2, they were asked to make pictures corresponding to statements with negations(e. g. The arrow is NOT pointing up.). Summarizing the overall results, first, children over 5 considered 'blue' and 'red' as opposites colors in the case of not well-known color opposites. If there exists an opposite color, color opposites have been acquired from 6 year-olds, the directional opposites started from 3 year-olds, and the opposites of dimension adjectives did from 5 year-olds. Second, preferring the antipodal color opposites started from 6 and preferring the antipodal direction did from 3. Consequently, 3-to 6 year-old children acquired opposites at different age and opposites dimension. Also the opposites dimension have an effect on processing negation of young children.

This paper explains how we define and represent modality in E-HowNet. Following Lyons (1977, reviewed in Hsieh 2003, among others), we hold that modals express a speaker's opinion or attitude toward a proposition and hence have a pragmatic dimension and recognize five kinds of modal categories, i.e. epistemic, deontic, ability, volition and expectation modality. We then present a representational formalism that contains the three most basic components of modal meaning: modal category, positive or negative and strength. Such a formula can define not only modal words but also words that contain modal meanings and cope with co-compositions of modals and the negation construction.
