Title	Implied Negation in Discourse
Authors	Ding, Yun
Abstract	This essay aims at making qualitative analysis on implied negation in discourse proceeds by virtue of some linguistic theories related to this topic. The ubiquity of implied negation in discourse is owing to the speaker’s need of politeness on account of face-saving theory. If it is used appropriately in conversation, it can make the conversation interesting and humorous and thus achieve a harmonious atmosphere by avoiding embarrassment caused by direct negation.
