Polarity is a category that indicates the distinction between affirmative and negative.
Natural Language
In the UNLarium, polarity may assume two values:
{{#tree:id=nl_polarity|openlevels=0|root=Polarity|
- affirmative (AFM)
- negative (NEG)
}}
Examples
- English
- not = NEG
- never = NEG
- none = NEG
UNL
In UNL, the attribute polarity may assume two values:
{{#tree:id=nl_polarity|openlevels=0|root=Polarity|
- @yes
- @not
}}
- The attribute @yes is the default value and may be omitted
- I do live here = live (or live.@yes)
- The attribute polarity, when lexicalized, must not be informed
- never = never (and not never.@not)
Examples
- @not: I don't live here = live.@not
