A double negative occurs when two negative words or phrases are used in the same sentence, often leading to confusion or altering the intended meaning. In standard English, this typically results in a positive interpretation, as in the phrase "I don't need no help," which suggests the speaker does need help. However, in some dialects and informal speech, double negatives can be used for emphasis without changing the overall negative meaning. Understanding the context is key to interpreting the intended message.
