Reasoning About Apparent Contradictions: Resolution Strategies and Positive-Negative Asymmetries.
Sharpe, Dean; Lacroix, Guy
Journal of Child Language, v26 n2 p477-90 Jun 1999

Results further suggest that certain interpretive structures present themselves in reasoning about particular predicate-object pairs--even to young children. (Author/VWL)
