This study investigates how negation influences expectations for upcoming words in sentences, examining the interplay between negation, semantic constraints, and informativity. Experiments 1 and 2 extended Albu et al.'s (2024) findings by using a regular cloze task to explore how negation and modal adverbials affect sentence completions. Results showed negative sentences yielded completions with lower semantic relatedness, higher entropy, and lower cloze probabilities compared to affirmative conditions, with modal adverbials further reducing informativity and semantic constraint. These findings suggest negation serves multiple functions, including describing negative events and denying plausible ones. Building on these results, Experiments 3 and 4 focused on comprehenders' expectations about speaker informativity with negation. Experiment 3 employed a two-choice cloze task, while Experiment 4 used a regular cloze task. Results revealed a preference for negating antonyms, preserving the meaning of affirmative counterparts, indicating a tendency to use negation for describing events rather than solely for deviating from expectations. The study highlights negation's complex, context-dependent role in language processing and production. Future research directions include investigating shared knowledge among interlocutors, exploring interactions between pragmatic markers and negation, and conducting corpus analyses to complement these experimental findings.
