This document discusses negative prefixes in adjectives. It notes that negative prefixes modify the word they precede but not the grammatical category. So an adjective remains an adjective. It then lists common negative prefixes like "dis", "il", "im", "in", "ir", and "un" and provides examples of negative adjectives formed with each prefix. It cautions that not all words beginning with these prefixes are negative adjectives, providing examples like "insist", "discuss", "important", and "illuminate" which are verbs or non-negative adjectives.
