Can you think of a sentence which, when negated, says the same thing as the original, unnegated sentence? Or is that impossible? Discuss. Either find such a sentence, or explain why it is impossible to find such a sentence.

Answer:

Double denial results in a statement. In logic when you use a doble denial, it results as an afirmation.

Original sentence: I have nothing.

Negated sentence: I don´t have nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sentece the word nothing helps us make the same sense in both sentences. I have nothing has the same meaning as the sentence: I don't have nothing. Both sentences mean the same but one of the has a denial.

Not having nothing is the same thing as having nothing.
