Subject: I Want to Understand Negative Expressions

 
Hello,

I am a university student in Japan and I am majoring in English linguistics. 

I am currently studying negation and am especially interested in the degree of
negation. We learned that the degree of negation in ''not a 〇〇'' is almost as
much as that in ''no 〇〇'' (some noun is filled in the 〇〇). However, there is a
case that ''not a 〇〇'' has a higher degree of negation than ''no 〇〇'' so I
have some questions about it.

If you have a free time, please answer this survey:

Thank you for your cooperation.
