The prefixes in- and un- often combine with adjectives in order to express negative meaning. The prefix in- derives from a Latin negative prefix. On the other hand, un- is a native negative prefix. The base of the prefix in- has the feature [+latinate], while the base of the prefix un- has either the feature [+latinate] or [-latinatej. It has been said that the prefix un- is more productive than the prefix in-. Shakespeare also employed the prefix un- in order to make new words. Therefore, many derivatives in un- can be seen in Shakespeare. Some adjectives with the prefix in- have variants with the prefix un-. They are called "double forms", and the double forms frequently occur in Shakespeare. In the present paper a comparison of the two negative prefixes in- and un- will show that one negative prefix differs from the other.
This research paper identifies and studies the primary English negative prefixes (a-,

subject, from the late 19th century...
