The study by Malcah Yaeger-Dror examines the contraction of negatives in various registers of discourse, highlighting the influence of linguistic and social factors on this phenomenon. It distinguishes between the Cognitive Prominence Principle, which predicts non-contraction when negatives convey important information, and the Social Agreement Principle, which favors contraction to minimize face-threatening implications in conversation. The research analyzes data from instructional, confrontational, and casual contexts to demonstrate how register affects negative contraction and its prosodic features. The findings suggest that interactional intent and register type significantly shape the use of contracted versus uncontracted negatives.
