Negative: whether the word can be or is negated
Negativeness
Negativeness is typically a feature of verbs, adjectives, sometimes also adverbs and nouns in languages that negate using bound morphemes.
In Bulgarian nouns, adjectives, attrubutive participles use bound morpheme не (with the exception of clear contrastive contexts) Verbs and transgressives, however, use the clitic не for negation.
The negativeness feature is used to distinguish response interjections yes and no.
