Yes And No
''Yes'' and ''no'', or word pairs with similar words, are expressions of the affirmative and the negative, respectively, in several languages, including English. Some languages make a distinction between answers to affirmative versus negative questions and may have three-form or four-form systems. English originally used a four-form system up to and including Early Middle English and Modern English has reduced to a two-form system consisting of 'yes' and 'no'. It exists in many facets of communication, such as: eye blink communication, head movements, Morse Code, and sign language. Some languages, such as Latin, do not have yes-no word systems. Answering yes/no question with single words meaning 'yes' or 'no' is by no means universal. Probably about half the world's languages typically employ an echo response: repeating the verb in the question in an affirmative or a negative form. Some of these also have optional words for 'yes' and 'no', like Hungarian, Russian , and Port ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yes And No (text)
{{Italic title ''Sic et Non'', an early scholastic text whose title translates from Medieval Latin as ''"Yes and No"'', was written by Peter Abelard. In the work, Abelard juxtaposes apparently contradictory quotations from the Church Fathers on many of the traditional topics of Christian theology. In the Prologue, Abelard outlines rules for reconciling these contradictions, the most important of which is noting the multiple significations of a single word. However, Abelard does not himself apply these rules in the body of the ''Sic et Non'', which has led scholars to conclude that the work was meant as an exercise book for students in applying dialectic (logic) to theology. Content In ''Sic et Non'', Abelard presents 158 questions that present a theological assertion and allows its negation. The first five questions are: # Must human faith be completed by reason, or not? # Does faith deal only with unseen things, or not? # Is there any knowledge of things unseen, or not? # ...
