Abstract: The focus of our study is the rhetorical figure litotes and its cognitive modeling. This figure is formed by a contrary term that emphatically accentuates a positive, e.g. He is not exactly an idiot (said of Albert Einstein). Lawrence Horn’s illumination of the Law of Excluded Middle and its relationship to litotes by creating an Unexcluded Middle is central to our ideas and we correlate this to Image Schema theories developed by Mark Johnson, George Lakoff and Rafael Núnez – specifically the schema of CONTAINMENT. The distinction be- ˜ tween contrary and contradictory opposition is described. We extend the assessment of the Excluded Middle from the perspective of Image Schema theory into the realm of the Unexcluded Middle and draw a representation of the layout of containers and analogous concept-activation. Lastly, we create and present an OWL ontology and publish it online.
