Abstract

Syntactic negation is divided into sentence negation and partial negation. Sentence negation through a negated predicate negates the sentence content completely, while partial negation negates the content of a non-predicate member of the sentence structure. The paper analyzes the means of sentence negation in the local dialects of the Čabar area, morphological or syntactic, and their position in relation to the verb form in the predicate. Intensifiers of negative meaning and negative concord are also analyzed. The analysis is based on the material collected by directed field research, which, in addition to recording spontaneous speech, includes the dialect versions of standard language templates; the analysis also refers to examples from dialectological literature and sources.
