Abstract

Cognitive non- factive verbs are one of lexical verbs used a lot in modality because of their linguistic features. One of their special characteristics is the transfer of negative form or transferred negation from a complement clause to the main clause or matrix clause. In order to see the scope of the raising of negative form of these verbs better, we will examine them in syntactics, semantics and pragmatics, based on 300 utterances collected from different sources such as novels, short stories and the internet. Particularly, I hope the scope of negation and purpose of transferred negation will help Vietnamese learners of English use them effectively in communication. Also, the findings might be useful for teaching English as a foreign language in the Vietnamese setting
