Negative Affixes in English and Tajik Languages
The article dwells on the comparative analysis dealing with negative affixes in both English and Tajik languages which are considered to be one of the spread ways towards negative expression. The author mentions that the relevant affixes of the comparative languages change words giving them various negative meanings in terms of their quality. It is underscored that the number of English negative affixes is more and more productive than Tajik ones. The meanings of a Tajik prefix are expressed by several English ones. In conformity with the author's opinion English negative prefixes can have several semantic restrictions, as they are not combined with all word stems and Tajik prefixes can be combined with different parts of speech, upon the whole.
