| Citazioni | Assertions are said to be "either 'associative' or 'dissociative', which corresponds to the basic distinction in all languages between affirmation and negation" [Osgood, Charles E., Suci, George J., and Tannenbaum Percy H., 1957, ‘The Measurement of Meaning’, Urbana, University of Illinois Press, p. 201]. |
