• also I'm not sure how much this is a real thing vs something Claude confabulated

• then (with Claude's help) I had the idea of actually making the term be itself a kind of double negative
  • unforeclosing

  • Assertives vs. Hedges
    • In linguistics, particularly in pragmatics and discourse analysis, "assertives" are statements that commit the speaker to the truth of an expressed proposition. "Hedges," on the other hand, are words or phrases used to lessen the impact of an utterance.
  • Positive vs. Negative Knowledge Claims
    • In epistemology and argumentation theory, these terms distinguish between claims about what one knows and claims about what one doesn't know.
  • Affirmative vs. Non-affirmative Statements
    • This distinction is used in logic and linguistics to differentiate between statements that assert something is true and those that don't make such an assertion.
  • Categorical vs. Modal Statements
    • In logic and philosophy, categorical statements make direct assertions, while modal statements express possibility or necessity.
  • Epistemic Stance Markers
    • In linguistics, these are words or phrases that indicate the speaker's degree of certainty or commitment to a statement.
  • Apodictic vs. Problematic Judgments
    • In Kantian philosophy, apodictic judgments express logical necessity, while problematic judgments express mere logical possibility.
