textul lui dan dascalescu:

daca vorbitorul ar combate aceasta declaratie ar rezulta o negare a negatiei !

Merriam -Webster
Main Entry: take on
Function: verb
Date: 15th century
transitive senses
1 a : to begin to perform or deal with : UNDERTAKE <took on new responsibilities> b : to contend with as an opponent <took on the neighborhood bully>
2 : ENGAGE, HIRE
3 a : to assume or acquire as or as if one's own <the city's plaza takes on a carnival air -- W. T. LeViness> b : to have as a mathematical domain or range <what values does the function take on>
intransitive senses : to show one's feelings especially of grief or anger in a demonstrative way <they cried and took on something terrible -- Bob Hope>

take on are sens de opozitie numai cind exista o provocare clara ( neighborhood bully)

deci contextul arata ca vorbitorul accepta ca "lenevia" locuitorilor inner city e un mit urban ( adica vorbe goale), nu o combate
