Double negatives and usage

In standard English, when we use negative words such as nobody, nowhere, never or nothing, we do not commonly use a negative verb:

He had nothing interesting to tell us.

Not: He hadn’t nothing interesting…

It was 10 am but there was nobody in the office.

Not: … but there wasn’t nobody in the office.

However, we hear double and triple negatives spoken in some regional dialects of English. This is common when people from the same region are speaking with one another. Double negatives like this are not acceptable in formal situations or in writing.

Compare

non-standard dialect	standard English
We couldn’t never work with nobody like that.	We couldn’t ever work with anybody like that.
He never says nothing interesting to no one.	He never says anything interesting to anyone.

 

Double negation with adjectives and adverbs (not unexpected)

However, we can use not + an adjective or adverb with a negative prefix (e.g. un-, in-) as a way of softening or downtoning the meaning of the adjective. The meaning becomes affirmative, but the double negation shows that the writer/speaker is cautious about it. This is most common in formal writing:

This year’s rise in inflation to 3% was not unexpected. (This year’s rise in inflation to 3% was expected to some extent.)

The crisis has been attributed, not unreasonably, to the Prime Minister’s weakness.

A:

The repair cost fifty pounds.

B:

Oh well, that’s not unreasonable.

Note

A Double Negative Is Usually an Error

A double negative is usually an error because it portrays a positive sense when a negative one is intended. In reality, readers nearly always understand the intended meaning, but a writer's credibility is always damaged when a double-negative error is made.

As is often the case, prepositions are useful in knowing which tricky word to choose over another (think “who” vs. “whom”). That leaves us with the final question:

I don't know whether to accept or not.      Je ne sais pas si je dois accepter ou non.  
He didn't know whether to accept her gift or not.      Il ne savait pas s'il devait ou non accepter son cadeau.  
They now have two weeks to decide whether or not to buy.      Ils ont maintenant deux semaines pour décider d'acheter ou non.  
whether you go or not      que vous y alliez ou non  
whether we like it or not      que cela nous plaise ou non  
→ We're in this together, whether we like it or not.        
it's doubtful whether      (=unlikely)   il est peu probable que  
→ It's doubtful whether she'll attend the meeting.

There we go.

>> So, we’re at 12,335 feet.  Now, yesterday morning, when I got on a plane, I was at about 1 foot, there at New York’s LaGuardia airport.  So no wonder I had such a hard time catching my breath on this hike.

>> So for the metric fans of Rachel’s English, this is almost 4,000 meters.

>> It’s pretty high.

Very high.

>> As you can see.

>> Very cold and windy.

>> Yeah.It’s very interesting landscape.

>> Mom, what did that sign say about this area?

>> It said that this was once a vast plain, that was pushed…

>> Wow.

>> Yeah.  You can see some patches of snow over there.

>> Where?

>> Right over there.

>> Oh  yeah.

>> They’re very dirty.

>> Right.

>> That’s all that’s left from last year’s snowfall.  And they’ll probably get snow here within the next couple of weeks.

Shape Of My Heart

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
