Is this a denotative statement?

    So, I thought this might belong in a language/computer section, but c'est la vie...

    Lyotard (taking influence from Wittgenstein) says 'the university is sick' is an example of a denotative statement because it denotes something about the university, namely that it is sick. My question is: if person x is asked did they see person y and they reply 'no', is that negative answer a denotative statement; 'I did not see person y' is a denotative statement. True or False?

    Thanks,
    Mark
