negation vs. additive inverse

In the PM, the NEG instruction "Get the negative of a number"
The NEGC and NEGZ instructions "Get...the additive inverse of a number"
Does this mean that NEG is a 1's compliment negation, and NEG C&Z a 2's compliment negation? If so, I wish the manual would state that. If not, I wish the manual would use consistent terminology.
I guess this illustrates how an example or two can spare a lot of verbiage and confusion.
