Definition
a strategy found in negation constructions, particularly declarative negation constructions, in which there are two morphemes that express negative polarity. Example: in the French sentence Je ne vois pas la lune 'I do not see the moon', negative polarity is expressed by both ne and pas. (Section 12.2)
