Definition
a type of contrast in which the sentence rejects one component of a previously asserted full proposition; this discourse context favors an identificational construal. Example: in the exchange John bought apples. No, he bought PEACHES, the second sentence rejects the previous assertion of what John bought. (Section 11.4.1)
