否定是英语中的一个重要语法现象。在诸多的否定形式中,现有的语料库检索结果表明,not和no是在口语及各种文体中使用频率最高的两个否定词。通过对not和no这两个否定词同时在形式和语义上的研究,本文得出如下结论:仅从形式上分析否定词的用法是不够的,形式上的否定也可以表示语义上的肯定;否定词应同时从形式、语义及语用层面进行探讨。本文旨在对英语学习者及教师在对否定的学习和教学上提供有益的启示。
Negation is an important grammatical phenomenon in English. Among the many negative forms, the existing corpus search results show that not and no are the two most frequently used negatives in oral and various genres. By studying both forms of not and no in both form and semantics, this paper draws the following conclusion: It is not enough to analyze the usage of negative words only formally, and formal negativeness can also express the semantic affirmation. Negatives should be explored both formally, semantically and pragmatically. This article aims to provide useful enlightenment to English learners and teachers in negative learning and teaching.
