Methods of expressing negation via positive & negative structures in Russian language and their equivalents in Persian language
From the cognitive point of view, the Russian & Persian languages belong to the same lingual family - the Indo-European branch; therefore they have similarities in their morphological and syntactic structures. Negative sentences refer to the inexistence of a person or object or their qualities. Negation and negative sentences are discussed in both Russian and Persian languages. There are various forms of negative structures in Russian language which are usually hard to understand for Persian students. Lack of knowledge of these structures lead to misunderstandings. On the other hand, negative structures in Persian language are not so complicated; therefore linguists have paid less attention to this particular concept compared to other grammatical concepts. In this article, negative expressions in the Russian language are studied via positive and negative structures, and their equivalents and semantic difficulties in Persian language are analyzed.
