Abstract

In English, negation includes explicit negation such as negations with negative suffixes and implicit negation like negative adverbs. In this study, we focus on negative prefixes and negative adverbs which are two difficulties for Chinese learners. And we tried to find out: a) learners’ acquisition features and acquisition order of negative prefixes and adverbs, and b) whether natural order exists in acquiring negative prefixes and adverbs. Results showed that with the increase of educational level, learners acquire more negative prefixes and adverbs, and Chinese learners share similar using preferences with native speakers.
