Acesso em: 2 ago. 2024.The comic cartoons, frequently, highlight an interesting linguistic construction often censured by grammarians: the use of double negatives to articulate a single negation. The critique of double negatives is based on the notion that negation is an absolute concept; something is either present or absent, and adding a second negative into a sentence does not make it more negative than it was before. However, Swan (2005, p. 364) reminds us that “multiple negatives are sometimes used instead of simple positive structures for special stylistic effects. This is rather literary; in spoken English, it can seem unnatural or old-fashioned”. In which of the alternatives bellow there is a purposeful use of a double negative structure for stylistic gains?- AI’m not at peace with dying aloneBut I’m not at war eitherNo, I am planted on the shore knowingThe ashen tide may or may not rise –(Neither/Nor - Moses Sumney)
