- Description
- Pointing out the coexistence of various forms of negation in the Middle English period, the author analyzes choices of negative forms in Mel, ParsT, and Astr from cognitive viewpoints. The analysis particularly focuses on elaboration of styles (in relation to use of multiple negation), the "weight of negation," and the subject of negative sentences as potentially relevant to the choice of negative forms.
