This work examines the negators hardly and seldom, as devices of negation and their Czech correlates. The first part presents a general overview of negation types in English and formal features related to the specific types. The empirical part then focuses on 100 examples containing the two adverbs and analyzes them in terms of the theoretical background. 50 findings are those of the adverb seldom and 50 of the adverb hardly. All examples, including the Czech counterparts, were extracted from the corpus InterCorp, which presents multilingual parallel corpora.
