| Negation, philosophy, logic: negation of a sentence. In logic, this is done by prefixing the negation symbol. Colloquially expressed by the word "not", which can be at different positions in the sentence. If the negation refers only to one sentence part, this must be made clear by the position, e.g. a predicate can be denied without negating the whole sentence. In logic, therefore, inner and outer negation is distinguished by the use of different symbols._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Paul Lorenzen on Negation - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 268 Negation/Dialogical Logic/Lorenzen: If i a is asserted by P, it has lost when O asserts the assertion a and successfully defends it. N.B.: precisely in this way the intuitionist logic arises. Intuitionist Logic/Lorenzen: there is no winning strategy for A v i A: E.g. O P A v i A ? A I i A ? I A I 269 Here, for the variable A, we put a statement such that O knows a proof of it, but P does not. Winning strategy/negation/dialogical logic/Lorenzen: for the explanation I show additionally that there is a winning strategy for: i i (A v i A) O P i i (A v i A) i (A v i A) A v i A ? i A A A v i A ?
