Clausal negation refers to simple negation of a full clause. The language uses the same construction for negative clauses as for affirmative clauses, except that a negative morpheme is added. For example, in Icelandic, the affirmative <i>Ég kyssti hana</i> ‘I kissed her’ is the same as the negative <i>Ég kyssti hana ekki</i> ‘I kissed her not’ with the exception of the addition of the negative morpheme <i>ekki</i> ‘not’. See Miestamo (2008).
		
<br><br>English exemplifies this as well, such as in auxiliary constructions: <i>I will eat</i> is negated simply by adding <i>not</i>, as in <i>I will not eat</i>.
