sakurahanabira 6,634 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I read it was African American speech. Or black speech if you pretend all Blacks come from America. it's not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative Double negatives are usually associated with regional and ethnical dialects such as Southern American English, African American Vernacular English, and various British regional dialects. Indeed, they were used in Middle English. Historically, Chaucer made extensive use of double, triple, and even quadruple negatives in his Canterbury Tales. About the Friar, he writes "Ther nas no man no wher so vertuous" ("There never was no man nowhere so virtuous"). About the Knight, "He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde / In all his lyf unto no maner wight" ("He never yet no vileness didn't say / In all his life to no manner of man"). [...] Up to the 18th century, double negatives were used to emphasize negation. "Prescriptive grammarians" recorded and codified a shift away from the double negative in the 1700s. Double negatives continue to be spoken by those of Vernacular English, such as those of Appalachian English and African American Vernacular English. To such speakers, they view double negatives as emphasizing the negative rather than cancelling out the negatives. Researchers have studied African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and trace its origins back to colonial English. This shows that double negatives were present in colonial English, and thus presumably English as a whole, and were acceptable at that time. English after the 18th century was changed to become more logical and double negatives became seen as canceling each other as in mathematics. The use of double negatives became associated with being uneducated and illogical Double negatives have been around for centuries in English and are present in not only AAVE today but also Appalachian English and many Southern dialects.

Sweet Perfume 1,472 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Yes, and I realise it after saying it or after sending the text, lol. It's because of my native language's influence. I constantly tell my brother ''ain't nobody got time for dat'' but other than that I don't think so. In spanish we don't do that I guess That's because we can use double negatives in Spanish.
