Summary/Abstract: There are some textual or linguistic elements that allow an utterance to be interpreted as polyphonic. According to Oswald Ducrot, negation is a very important element of polyphony, and it is divided into three categories as polemic, descriptive and metalinguistic. The polemic negation takes precedence because the basis of negation is opposition. The Scandinavian linguist Henning Nølke proposes a range of linguistic contexts that cause polyphony in the interpretation of negative utterances. He refers to these as "blocker contexts". In this study, the place and importance of context in the analysis of utterances within the framework of linguistic polyphony theory was shown and examples of cleft sentences, which are among the blocker contexts supporting linguistic polyphony suggested by Henning Nølke, were analysed practically by having been supported by their textual contexts. It is concluded that cleft sentences combined with negation are polemic and are among the blocker contexts supporting polyphony.
