Denial is an enunciative modality that exists in all languages and that tries to communicate that something is not happening or does not exist. For example: They did not finish on time.
The negative sentence can be conceived as the other side of the affirmative sentence, which expresses an affirmation. Negative sentences are usually less clear than affirmative ones, because when something is denied it opens a range of possibilities that the receiver of the message can think of, but has no way of sort out.
For example, if someone tells us: I don't get to the morning, there remains the possibility that it arrives in the afternoon, at night, at noon.
