Explicit and implicit means of negation in the english language

Abstract

Natural language has a rich arsenal of negation. There are a number of dimensions criteria according we can to where classify negative expressions into groups. We make a distinction between negation in the asserted meaning and negation in the non-asserted content. We call the first group explicit negation, and the second – implicit negation. Explicit negation in English includes expressions like scarcely, hardly, few, seldom, little, and only, as well as more obviously negative expressions like no, not, and never. Implicit negation, on the other hand, includes expressions like forget, fail, doubt, and den. When you are citing the document, use the following link http://essuir.sumdu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/36597
