AB - In this paper the scope of negation and focus of negation are further investigated, and a negative system that may be closer to the fact is discussed, which includes the components of three aspects: grammar, logic (semantics) and pragmatics. In this system, the scope of negation is divided into four kinds: scope of syntactic negation, scope of extensional negation, scope of intensional negation and scope of presuppositional negation. The scope of extensional negation and the scope of intensional negation are both scope of logical negation, the previous one acts on the whole sentence, which is related to the true or false value of the sentence; and the latter one acts on a part of a sentence, which is related to the reason why the sentence has a specific true or false value. As for the focus of negation, its function is to point out the scope of intensional negation, or guide hearers to perceive the scope of intensional negation in a sentence. The rules for guiding focus of negation has some common characteristics shared by various languages, which are the rules with high probability rather than inevitability, so have pragmatic attributes. The means for pointing out the focus of negation have differences in language types. For example, in Chinese, a negative word does not serve as the marker of a focus of negation, but in Russian, it often serves both as the negative word and the marker of a focus of negation.
