In General Hayden's case, there is one main clause and three subordinate ones (the negators are indicated in bold).

I know that the murderers existed, not only in Germany, and still exist, retired or on active duty, and that to confuse them with their victims is a moral disease or an aesthetic affectation or a sinister sign of complicity; above all, it is precious service rendered (intentionally or not) to the negators or truth.

In some models of grammar negators such as "not" and "never" are considered adverbs and their function that of negating adverbial.

Bloomfield states there are five overarching categories in Menominee: noun, pronoun, negator, verb, and particle. Nouns, pronouns, negators, and verbs all take inflection whereas particles do not carry any morphology.

North Moluccan Malay uses predicate operators to express negation (negators). Predicate operators are used to express certain meaning aspects, they also act as a grammatical function by showing that the construction in which they take part in is best to be interpreted as predicate. tara 'not (present)' and bukang 'not' are two negators that are frequently used to negate predicates in this language. tara implies absolute absence 'not present'; however, while used in negating thing constructions contexts, tara could mean 'not possess'.

In this case is functions similar to the English prefixes 'non-' or 'un-'. All four dialects of Mekeo have existential negators: maini in North-West Mekeo, aibaia or aibaida in West Mekeo, aibaia or aibaiza in North Mekeo, and laaʼi in East Mekeo. The existential negators are sentence-final predicates — where a verb would otherwise be — and express denial of the existence, presence or identity of the preceding nominal predicate.See Mosel (1999) for an explanation of the interpretation of the term 'denial' in this context.

In Rapa Nui, negation is indicated by free standing morphemes. Rapa Nui has four main negators: :ꞌina (neutral) :kai (perfective) :(e)ko (imperfective) :taꞌe (constituent negator) Additionally there are also two additional particles/ morphemes which also contribute to negation in Rapa Nui: :kore (Existential/noun negator) :hia / ia (verb phrase particle which occurs in combination with different negators to form the meaning 'not yet') Negation occurs as preverbal particles in the verb phrase, with the clausal negator kai and (e)ko occurring in first position in the verbal phrase, while the constituent negator (taꞌe) occurs in second position in the verbal phrase. Clausal negators occur in the same position as aspect markers and subordinators—this means it is impossible for these elements to co-occur. As a result, negative clauses tend to have fewer aspectual distinctions.

Proto-Indo-European particles could be used both as adverbs and postpositions, like "under, below". The postpositions became prepositions in most daughter languages. Other reconstructible particles include negators (), conjunctions ( "and", "or" and others) and an interjection (, an expression of woe or agony).

There are two main strands among the Izgi Amalist Quranists. One strand is the one that uses terms such as "Quran alone"; this subset of Quranists exclude all religious texts which are not the Quran and uses it as the sole source of religiosity. Some Izgi Amalists use the self-identifiers of Quranites, Quran aloners or Quraniyoon to describe themselves, while retorts such as munkirū al-ḥadīṯ (منكروا الحديث) (i.e. "negators of Hadith" / "hadith rejectors"), have in turn been levelled at them.

Examples 14 to 17 show the existential negator of each dialect. In both West Mekeo and Northern Mekeo, aibaia can be analyzed as a compound of a'i 'not' and baia 'mere'. These two dialects also have an intrusive consonant, so aibaia is often realised as in West Mekeo and in North Mekeo. The existential negators can also function similarly to aʼi, so examples 13 and 15 above could alternatively be read as "She is not his wife" (or "He is not her husband") and "This is not sugar" respectively.
