Multiple negation in present-day spoken British English
 Vekrbauerová, Veronika ; Malá, Markéta (advisor) ; Nádraská, Zuzana (referee)
This thesis examines the occurrence and the expression of double (or multiple) negation within a single utterance, as used in contemporary spoken British English. It aims to describe the various combinations of double negation, the scope of such negation, and the means by which double negation is expressed. The Spoken BNC 2014 corpus was used as the material for the analysis of the above. The theoretical part of this thesis is based on grammar books and describes the division and use of negation as such. This theoretical foundation is then used as the basis for the analytical part of the thesis. The latter examines different combinations of two negations in a single utterance in an attempt to interpret them, identify factors influencing their interpretation and point out any common features. KEYWORDS multiple negation, present-day spoken British English, corpus linguistics
