  5. CONCORD Concord is AGREEMENT between two sentence elements with respect to certain grammatical features. Officially: CONCORD (sometimes termed AGREEMENT) is the relationship between TWO GRAMMATICAL UNITS such that one of them DISPLAYS A PARTICULAR FEATURE (e.g. plurality)that ACCORDS WITH A DISPLAYED (or semantically implicit) FEATURE in the other unit. There are several types of concord.

  9. BASIC INFORMATION NEGATION

  10. GENERAL TYPES OF NEGATION • CLAUSE NEGATION – the whole clause is syntactically treated as negative: • She’s not an attractive woman in any respect(, is she?) • LOCAL NEGATION – one constituent (but not necessarily a clause element) is negated: • She’s a not unattractive woman in some ways. (NOT: in any respect) • PREDICATION NEGATION – very rare, applies only after certain auxiliaries (often depends on pronunciation): • They may not go swimming. [=They are allowed not to go swimming] NEGATION IS REALIZED THROUGH USE OF NEGATIVE ITEMS.

  11. NEGATION via NEGATIVE ITEMS • The clause can be negated: • EITHER BY NEGATING THE VERB, • OR BY NEGATING OTHER SENTENCE ELEMENTS. • Depending on what sentence element is being negated, it is necessary to use different negative items: • VERB NEGATION: the negative particle NOT is always used: He does not dring. She is not a model wife. • NEGATION OF OTHER SENTENCE ELEMENTS can be achieved using DIFFERENTNEGATIVE ITEMS: • Words negative in form and meaning: no, none, never, not • Word negative in meaning only (not negative in form): rarely, seldom, scarcely, barely, little, few • VERBS, ADJECTIVE, PREPOSTIONS with IMPLIED NEGATIVE MEANING: refuse, deny, fail; reluctant, unaware; without, against; unless

  12. NEGATION: SCOPE OF NEGATION The POSITION OF THE NEGATIVE ITEM may drastically INFLUENCE THE MEANING OF THE WHOLE SENTENCE: • The SCOPE OF NEGATION is the stretch of language OVER WHICH THE NEGATIVE MEANING OPERATES AND WHERE NON-ASSERTIVE ITEMS MUST BE USED. • The SCOPE OF NEGATION EXTENDS FROM THE NEGATIVE ITEM TO: • THE END OF THE CLAUSE (NOT NECESSARILY THE END OF THE SENTENCE), • THE END OF THE NEGATED PHRASE (IF ONLY A SINGLE PHRASE IS NEGATED), OR • THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL ADJUNCT. • WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL?

  13. SCOPE OF NEGATION She definitely didn’t speak to him. = It is definite that she didn’t speak to him. She didn’t definitely speak to him. = It is not definite that she spoke to him.
