Quelques aspects de la negation: Comparaison de l'anglais et du francais (Some Aspects of Negation: Comparison of English and French).

Canadian Modern Language Review, v47 n2 p327-40 Jan 1991

Study of translations also shows that many words with a positive equivalent in French are translated by a negative word or phrase. (five references) (Author/MSE)
