Abstract

<jats:p>This paper reinterprets the traditional understanding of verbal negation by approaching it not as a logical denial, but as a nominative function of linguistic units. It is argued that in natural languages verbal negation is not confined to the framework of bivalent logic; rather, it functions as a multi-layered, pragmatic, and meaning-generating mechanism capable of expressing not only absence but also a range of semantic domains. The paper proposes that negative units do not eliminate or reject reality, but instead name its absence, thereby rendering “non-being” cognitively accessible and communicable. From a phenomenological perspective, it is demonstrated that “non-being” cannot be reduced to mere absence, but constitutes a specific structure of experience given in consciousness. Thus, language does not annihilate reality; rather, it organizes and names all its possible states, including absence.</jats:p>
