<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''External negation''' is the external [[negation]] Neg Q of a [[generalized quantifier]] Q is the set of sets that are not in Q (i.e. the complement of Q with regard to the power set of E). Formally, external negation is defined as follows:<br />
<br />
(i) Neg Q = { X subset E : X not_in Q }<br />
<br />
The external negation of ''all'' is ''not all'' and the external negation of ''a(n)'' is ''no''. See also [[internal negation]].<br />
