The problem of the study lies in that English and Arabic differ in the way they negate clauses and sentences. Further, they use various devices to achieve negation. The study aims at examining negation types in both English and Arabic languages. Secondly, looking at the negation of clause elements in both languages. Thirdly, bringing devices employed for expressing negation in each language to light. Fourthly, disclosing types of negation in both languages. Finally, observing the use of negative correlatives in each language.
