Description/Abstract:

This paper discusses the philosophical and logical motivations for rejectivism, primarily by considering a dialogical approach to logic, which is formalised in a Question–Answer Semantics. We develop a generalised account of rejectivism through close consideration of Mark Textor's arguments against rejectivism that the negative expression 'no' is never used as an act of rejection and is equivalent with a negative sentence. In doing so, we also shed light upon well-known issues regarding the supposed non-embeddability and non-iterability of force indicators.
