19. Language / A. Nature of Meaning / 5. Meaning as Verification

9134	The negation of a meaningful sentence must itself be meaningful [Sorensen]
	Full Idea: The negation of any meaningful sentence must itself be meaningful.
	From: Roy Sorensen (Vagueness and Contradiction [2001], 8.1)
	A reaction: Nice. Compare 'there is another prime number beyond the highest one we have found' with its negation. The first seems verifiable in principle, but the second one doesn't. So the verificationist must deny Sorensen's idea?
