This paper deals with the negation haud, whose origins and functions present unresolved issues. After a thorough examination of the various etymological proposals, the discussion will explore the relation between haud and the other Latin negations. According to the logical approach, non is mostly a contradictory negation, whereas haud is a contrary negation. Pragmatic analysis will clarify the nature and functions of this form, which is a weak, gradable, and scalar negation conveying ‘discordance’, uncertainty and mitigation effects.

Abstract
This paper deals with the negation haud, whose origins and functions present unresolved issues. After a thorough examination of the various etymological proposals, the discussion will explore the relation between haud and the other Latin negations. According to the logical approach, non is mostly a contradictory negation, whereas haud is a contrary negation. Pragmatic analysis will clarify the nature and functions of this form, which is a weak, gradable, and scalar negation conveying ‘discordance’, uncertainty and mitigation effects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
