internal negation

SEMANTICS: the internal negation of a generalized quantifier Q is the set of complements of the sets in Q with respect to E. Formally:

(i) Q Neg = { X subset E : (E - X) in Q }
The internal negation of all is no and the internal negation of a(n) is not all. See also external negation.
