Note that the alternative form with the double negative, *"I was not going nowhere", is ungrammatical in the standard language, although such forms are used in some colloquial English, and parallel the constructions used in certain other languages which have negative concord. ("Anywhere", like most of the other NPIs listed below, is also used in other senses where it is not an NPI, as in "I would go anywhere with you".) Similar pairs of negatives and corresponding NPI are listed below.
