Means of expressing the category of negation in the English language

This article is dedicated to the analysis of category of negation in English language. The author identifies the most frequent morphological means (the prefixes un-, in (im, ir)-, anti-, non (no)- and the suffix -less), definite pronouns (no, nothing, nobody, nowhere), conjunctions and prepositions (without, against, regardless of, unlike and so on), which increase the expressivity of the text. Currently, in the English language there are a fairly large number of ways to express negation: negative particles, negative pronouns, double negation, antonyms, etc. In this regard, for persons studying English as a foreign language, the urgent question is what form of expression suitable for a specific situation.
