"4. Negation -
* whenever you are signing a negative sentence you should always use
the appropriate non-manual markers:
1. Eyebrows down (furrowed)
2. Body back
3. Shake head "no"
There are three ways to make a negative sentence in ASL:
1. Use of non-manual markers
2. Abruptly throwing sign away from body, I.E.,
KNOW v. DON?T-KNOW, LIKE v. DON?T-LIKE, WANT v. DON?T-WANT,
FINE v NOT-FINE
3. Use of negative words, I.E.,
#NO, NOT, NONE
NOTE that the most COMMON way to make a negative is to use the
non-manual ... that is, shake your head "no"."
[edit]
2. NEGATION (NEGATIVE SENTENCES TYPES)-
#NO - NOT - NONE - NOTHING - NOTHING-TO-IT - CAN?T - WON?T
These are just a few of the different negative words/signs that we can
use to make a statement a negative. Remember that you should always
use the appropriate negative non-manual markers (eyebrows furrowed,
negative head shake).
Also remember that we can also negate a sentence in ASL by abruptly
throwing the sign away from our body, i.e., WANT v DON?T-WANT, or just
use negative non-manual markers with the verb and throughout the
sentence.
NONE is always used for quantities (i.e. English "Don't miss any
classes" becomes "YOU MISS CLASS NONE"."

NEGATION
"Negative sentences are made in several ways. We can use words such as
not, none, no, or other negative words. Any word we use to form a
negative must also be accompanied with a head shake and eyebrows
squeezed together. When we write negative sentences, we place a
_____n_____ above the sentence to show that we want the sentence
signed with negative markers (using a negative word plus head shake
and eyebrows). Sometimes we make negatives in ASL by using words such
as DON'T-KNOW, DON'T-WANT OR DON'T-LIKE. These three glosses all have
signs using an outward twisting motion as part of the regular sign."

Note:
The negative sign not can be left out while preserving the negative
facial expression. Sometimes we replace negative prefixes (un, im,
in, dis) with "not"
