Student of KSU

Annotation.

The present article deals with the lexical peculiarities of the category of Negation in

the English languages. The Negation in Modern English has been studied from the point of
different aspects of the language development. In the article the negation is viewed from the point
of different lexical expressions.

Key words

: negative meaning, word classes, parts of speech, simple words, derived words,

compound words, pronouns, negative affixes, lexical meaning.


The present study of role of the negative expressions in the comparative languages represents

a peculiar linguistic interest equally as the problem of changes of negation in the course of
development of a language. However, in scientific literature the problem of negation in a language
little has been worked out so far. The negation in the modern English and Karakalpak language

includes variety of meanings such as the meanings of deprivation, devoiding, absence, insolvency,
mistakes, incorrectness, failures and etc. [8; 16; 180-196, 32, 205]. This category is expressed
directly lexical, multiple words designating above mentioned negative phenomena, properties,
references and concepts. They can be expressed with simple, derivative and also with compound
words which cover almost all the parts of speech:

Simple words:

refuse (noun) – qaytis, to refuse (verb) – qaytis qiliw
short (adjective) – qisqa, kelte
bad (adjective) – jaman
no (pronoun) – hesh
not (particle) – joq
never (adverb) – heshqashan
mistaken (verb, participle 2) – qa’telesken
relapse (noun) – awiriwdin’ qayta qoziwi
error (noun) – qa’teshilik

Derived words:

Rejection (noun) – qaytis etiw
Illegal (adjective) – nizamsiz
Uneatable (adjective) – jewge bolmaytug’in
Unimportant (adjective) - a’hmiyetsiz
Foolish (adjective) – aqmaq
Ugly (adjective) – siqilsiz
Wicked – a’zzi, na’renjan
Stupid – nadan

Compound words:

Ill-bred – qopal, ta’rbiyasiz, ta’rbiya ko’rmegen
Ill-fated – baxti qara, baxitsiz
Ill-disposed – jawiz, zalim, reyimsiz
Evil-hearted – qara ju’rek
Evil-doer – jinayatker
Evil-minded – jawiz, o’shli, qas
If the negative words are classified by the word structure, they can be distinguished by

according to with: antonymic and synonymic features, Antonymicity and Synonymicity in
correlation with parts of Speech. In most cases negative is expressed by adjectives than other parts
of speech.

Antonymycity is one of the most productive types of expressions of negation in English and

Karakalpak languages. Antonyms are typical to words which comprise in its direct meaning
pointing quality, as it is noun (light - darkness), or verb (to freeze – to thaw), adjective (brave -
coward), adverb (ever - never), especially is rich in antonyms denoting negative quality [10; 13,
221]. Examples are:

beautiful – ugly

sweet – bitter

bold – bashful

bright – dim,

young – old

good – bad

Nouns denoting negation have following corresponding couples with the meaning of:

1.

Denoting feeling, mood and state of a person (man): love-hatred, respect-scorn, joy-

sorrow, timed-arrogant.

2.

Denoting state and activity of a person: health-illness, life-death.

3.

Denoting color, time, action and etc: white-black, light-dark, day-night, to be born-to die,

to praise-to slander.
In English we can find a few synonymic antonyms correlating to one antonymic line which
expresses negation. For example, bright – dim, dull, sad according to different semantic varieties
of the word “bright”.
The Semantics of antonyms consist of two opposite meanings affirmativeness (positive) and
negativeness (negative). Therefore, the indication, with which the notions are in contradiction, can
be revealed in various degrees.

So, as in the example “tall-short” - the notion of height, “good-bad” – the notion of quality

(as in another example “life-death” – the negativity can be expressed) is expressed ultimately in
positive and negative degree, as in another example like “life-death” the negativity can be
expressed not only by the primary way in antonymous pairs, but by derivational way, about which
it was mentioned in the second chapter of the work. However, some lexicologists accept words
with different roots as antonyms, that’s to say they do not consider words with the same roots as
well as with the help of affixes, such as: Happy-unhappy, useful-useless, order-disorder.
Moreover, Eliseeva points out that antonymia, that’s to say contradiction by positiveness and
negativeness can be not only linguistic, but contextual as well.

Bright examples of such usage of contradiction can be noticed in belles-lettres work “A Tale

of Two Cities” of Ch. Dickens: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age
of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was epoch of incredulity, it
was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter
of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us…”.

Negativity is also expressed with the help of various parts of speech, such as nouns,

adjectives, pronouns, verbs and also another parts of speech, such as prepositions, particles [29,
44; 31; 38, 138].

In regarding the category of nouns, the negativity is connected with abstract notions: belief-

disbelief, love-hate, truth-lie, friend-enemy, friendship-hostility, which are expressed in most
cases with the help of affixal method.

In regarding the category of pronouns, the negativity is expressed by negative pronouns,

such as:

No – hesh, heshqanday, dim
None – heshbir, heshna’rse, heshkim, heshqashan
No one – heshkim, heshkimnin’, heshbir adam
Nodiv – heshkim, hesh adam
Nothing – heshna’rse, heshqanday
Neither – heshbiri, heshbiri de, heshqaysisi.
The negative word

no

in the sentence carries out various lexical-grammatical and

syntactical functions. It can be:
a)

An introductory part of the sentence: Do you know him? – No, I don’t.

b)

A negative indicator with an auxiliary verb do/does together with the predicate, where the

whole meaning of the sentence is negative: He did not go there yesterday.

c)

Controlling element of the noun, which negates the whole meaning of the sentence: No man

could complete with him.
d)

Nodiv, none, no one functioning as subject, negates the meaning of the whole sentence:

Nodiv would harm him.
e)

No when goes with gerund expresses prohibited action: No smoking, no talking.

Regarding the category of adjectives, only the antonymicy differentiates positivity and

negativity in binary opposition. For example: collocations like to be ill – to be well, to smell nice
– to smell bad, to taste sweet – to taste bitter and etc, lion-hearted – hare-hearted.

Regarding the category of adverbs; the adverbs of negativity, as it’s mentioned by L. G.

Alekseev in his book are barely, hardly, badly, lazely, hardly ever, least of all, little, never, never
again, not only, down nowhere, rarely, scarcely as others would be noticed in syntactical method
of expression of negativity.

Regarding the category of verbs as well, the antonymicy differentiates the meanings of

negativity. Examples are:

to break – to construct, to destroy – to mend
to fall – to stand, to forget – to remember,
to settle – to unsettle, to explicit – to implicit,
to appear – to disappear, to ripe – to unripe,
to do harm – to do good, to be for – to be against
to deny – to forget.
Some prepositions and particles express negativity in syntactical use with the other part of

speech, and in the structure of collocations and sentences. For example: unlike, in contrast with,
neither…nor and negative particles are no, not, never, without, against, unaware, etc. Examples
are:

You are

neither

a friend

nor

a servant.

Not

a man, not a sail upon the sea.

I was

unaware

of it.
