Negation in English and Other Languages
What it is about
A short book of about 150 pages on negation, written from examples that Jespersen collected by hand on slips over his career. It has thirteen chapters. The first three treat the history of negatives: Chapter 1 gives Jespersen's Cycle, in which a negative is weakened, strengthened by a second word, and the strengthener becomes the negative (Latin non, French ne ... pas, Old Norse, English "I ne say not" to "I say not"). The middle chapters treat synchronic questions: indirect negation, nexal versus special negation (Chapter 5), double negation, and negative connectives. The last chapters cover English forms: n't, "but", and negative prefixes (un-, in-, dis-, non-, a-). Jespersen gives three placement principles: negation comes before its focus (Neg-First), it attracts the finite verb (Neg-Verbal), and it moves to any word that can take a negative form (Neg-Incorporation, as in "didn't meet anybody" for "met nobody"). The 2025 edition adds an introduction that places the cycle in the context of the author's later pragmatic ideas.
Ideas
- I1. Count the three placement principles in UD EWT: how often a negator precedes the finite verb, how often it attaches to the verb, and how often a negated quantifier replaces "not ... any". Report the counts per principle, with the sample size, before any rule is written.
- I2. Treat "didn't meet anybody" and "met nobody" as one polarity frame in
prag/src/frames.rs, so that the rewrite does not change the answer the school student gives. Measure the answer accuracy with and without the rewrite on the negation lessons. - I3. Build the scale in Chapter 8 (all / some / none; always / sometimes / never) as a three-row table. Use it for the implicature in
prag("not all" implies "some" but not "none"), and measure on a held-out set of school questions. - I4. Count the number of negators per clause (none, one, two) in a corpus slice, the way the cycle predicts a rise in the second negator. Report it as a register feature, not as an error.
For Mova
Chapters: 27. Negation (the placement principles and double negation), 33. Implicature and presupposition (the scale and indirect negation), 10. Word classes (negative connectives and particles), 37. Register and variation (double negation as a register feature). Code: prag/src/frames.rs (polarity in the frames), en/src/morph.rs for negative forms (un-, in-, dis-), en/src/lin.rs for negator placement. Measures: placement counts on UD EWT with sample sizes; school-student accuracy with and without the rewrite; a negative control in which the negator is removed (the answer must change).
