Essay

The thesis highlights the category of negation in general and multiple negation in particular, its structural, semantic, pragmatic, functional and discourse peculiarities. Comprehensive interpretation and explanation of the transitional process from mononegative to multiple negation is made on the basis of its recurrence that is, in our mind the mobility of negation in the same utterances that appear to be amorphous by their nature: multiple negative constructions turn into mononegative, and vice versa.
