Abstract
This study sheds light on a certain grammatical and lexical phenomenon in both English and Arabic. It tackles implied negative process of some forms. Lexically, some nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in both languages approach clearly the concept of implied negation. Grammatically speaking, some aspects related to questions, exceptions, conditional clauses and exclamatory wishes tend in certain occasions to behave in a way that captures the sense of intended negation. This study shows a clear aim represented by how this grammatical and lexical phenomenon is viewed in the languages concerned. So, certain points about the structure and meaning of this sort of negation are clearly underlined. The study continues to maintain the main objectives like relating aspects of implied negation in both languages and pointing out the interwoven orientation understudy.
