After months of collaboration with Peter Evans and the team at Language Science Press, the new edition of Otto Jespersen's (1917) Negation in English and Other Languages is now available.
The new edition makes this classic work accessible to modern readers while preserving its scholarly depth. The text has been completely re-typeset, with examples presented in contemporary numbered format and non-English examples given Leipzig-style glosses. A new introduction by Olli O. Silvennoinen contextualizes Jespersen's achievement and demonstrates its continued significance for current linguistic research.
This new edition was co-edited by Brett Reynolds (Adjunct Professor, University of Toronto) and Peter Evans.
