  1. Minimizer

    In linguistics, a minimizer is a word or phrase that denotes a very small quantity which is used to reinforce negation. For example, "red cent" in the sentence "I'm not paying him a red cent" (meaning, "I'm not paying him any money") is a minimizer. Minimizers are usually analysed as a subclass of negative polarity items, and are often limited to negative contexts. For example, statements like "I paid him a red cent" or "I care a wit" would be considered unacceptable. In English and other languages, minimizers constitute the largest and most productive class of negative polarity items.
