- No, not, and non - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
At the linguistics conference, there were no not non- native speakers of Esperanto They're all grammatically "valid", but they all mean different things - and pragmatically idiomatically, only the no version is likely to be used
- Using non- to prefix a two-word phrase - English Language Usage . . .
25 Does "non-" prefixed to a two word phrase permit another hyphen before the second word? If I want to refer to an entity which is defined as the negation of another entity by attaching "non-" it seems strange to attach the "non-" only to the first word when the second one is really the word naming the entity For example, non-control freak
- prefixes - When is the prefix non- used vs un-? - English Language . . .
"Non-" is defined as "a prefix meaning 'not,' freely used as an English formative, usually with a simple negative force as implying mere negation or absence of something (rather than the opposite or reverse of it, as often expressed by un-)
- meaning - Non-repudiable vs non-refutable vs non-reputable in computer . . .
There seem to be three terms used by experts in the field: non-repudiable, non-refutable, and non-reputable I'm inclined to think that non-repudiable is the most correct; however, the other two seem to be more commonly used in that context
- no not - Non-significant or not significant variable? - English . . .
I am writing a statistics text and I am not sure if I should either use "non-significant variables" or "not significant variables" (or anything else)
- hyphenation - Is the use of a hyphen between non and an adjective . . .
Except "non" is not an English word, it is a prefix of Latin origin Which is why American style manuals will always ask you to merge it with the subsequent word, without a hyphen British rules differ, and the "non-" construction is frequently found in the literature
- Is non-life-threatening punctuated correctly with two hyphens?
The bound morpheme non is the negator for life-threatening here, so 'life-threatening' is more coherent This does not come across with nonlife-threatening, which would seem to imply a threat to non-life Leaving non stranded doesn't work either as it is a bound morpheme, a prefix not a word (in English) I'd use the two hyphens
- Use of the prefix non- on compound words [duplicate]
What is the correct way to apply the prefix "non-" to negate a (maybe dashed) compound adjective? Suppose that we want to negate a generic compound adjective " adjective1 adjective2 " In this case: "non- adjective1 adjective2 " looks a bit ambiguous since the scope of the prefix "non-" is at least unclear (in fact seems to affect only adjective1)
