AB - This paper tries to figure out the way a negation sentence are formed based on Aristotle’s description about opposition. Also we focus on the factors that make some NPIs occur in non-negation sentence. According to Aristotle, the opposition of meaning gives a logical and semantic foundation. Especially it is the privation and the contradiction that form the typical oppositions related to forming a negation sentence. On the other hand, even though it is not the general case, there are some NPIs that occur in a non-negation sentence that belongs to contrary opposition. We have two reasons as follows. First, when elements such as ‘mollae’(몰래), ‘moreusoy’(모르쇠), ‘mushinkyungha-’(무신경하-), etc. have diachronically lost their negative properties, the above situations may happen in a non-negation sentence. Second, when the above elements appear in a certain context which induces negative implicature, they activate their original negative properties. Through this process, it can be argued that some NPIs appear in the non-negation sentence.
