Abstract
Notions of normal intensionality and intensionality preserving negation are introduced. Both these notions apply to intensional sentential operators. When applied to factive operators they allows us to understand the way these operators give rise to presuppositions and their duals, assertions. They allow us also to distinguish semantically emotive factives from non-emotive ones.
