SEMANTICS: the logical operation in propositional logic which turns the truth value of a proposition into its opposite. Proposition Neg phi is true if and only if phi is not true:

(i)	phi		Neg phi
 	 1		   0
	 0		   1
The negation operator Neg is a unary connective. In syllogistic logic, negation can be an operator on terms. Thus in nobody is ill, the term nobody is considered the negation of somebody.
