Abstract

this paper gives a typological account for negation in Persian and presents a cognitive explanation. Conceptual space is universal and general, but each language has its own semantic map within this space. Persian semantic map expresses its formal differences with other languages. Bond's multi-dimensional conceptual space of negation is used as a basis in this research. Based on previous investigations, Persian uses four strategies for expressing negation including morphological prefix, propositional words, negative coordinated structure and negative nouns. These four strategies cover the conceptual space completely. Furthermore, each function can be conveyed by different form. Besides, connectivity hypothesis id held.
