> As for the double negative, it occurs in many Low Saxon dialects of
> Germany as well, but usually not double _nich_, _neyt_, etc.  But the
> _nich_, _neyt_, etc., does not occur at the end but near the "partner"
> word; _Dat hev ik ny (nich) seyn_, _Dat hev ik keyn maal (nich) seyn_,
> _Dat het keyn eyn (nich) seyn_.  My feeling is that the use of _nich_,
> _neyt_, etc., serves as an emphatic device; so, "I've never (ever) seen
> that," "No one/Not a single person has seen that."

In het Duits gebeurt het ook heel soms dat iemand een dubbele ontkenning
gebruikt. "Das ist jetzt echt nicht schön nicht!" Maar dat is heel duidelijk
expressief mondeling taalgebruik en mag natuurlijk niet worden geschreven.
