Negation is a fundamental property of human language that is tightly intertwined with human cognitive capacity. Negation allows speakers and hearers to reason about what is not the case, a unique property of human language. Thus, negation not only expresses a clearly defined and well-circumscribed grammatical function, it also interacts with various aspects of grammar and cognition. Specifically, it has been shown that the acquisition and processing of negation encompass linguistic as well as non-linguistic cognitive procedures. Therefore, negation constitutes an ideal testing ground to enable us to differentiate cognitive mechanisms that are grammatical in nature from those that are shared with other cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, decision making and cognitive control.

INF supports the CRC projects through all research stages, including the planning of empirical work, its statistical analysis, and the management, curation and archiving of data under CC-0 or CC-BY licenses to ensure reproducibility and long-term sustainability. To achieve this, INF (1) optimizes the research workflow by formulating a structured data management plan; (2) provides statistical training through workshops and individual consultations; (3) assists in the maintenance of data repositories for short- and long-term storage; (4) develops novel computational tools and annotation schemes, including virtual reality-based stimulus design and multimodal tracking methods.
