Abstract: The article considers the implicit language structures met in dialogue discourse. Dialogue speech is a special type of discourse which has a high degree of implicitness. It is due to the fact that the communicants share the same situation, the context and the background knowledge. The paper considers different aspects of expressing implicit negation in the dialogue discourse. Examples are provided in the English and Russian languages. The main results of the study consist in the description of the mechanism for recognizing the implicit meaning and describing some typical cases of implicit negation in dialogue discourse characterized by the asymmetry of interrogative and response replicas. The materials of the paper may be of some interest for linguists, psycho-linguists, experts in logics and philosophy. Keywords : implicitness, implicit negation, implicit meaning, implicature, dialogue discourse
