Abstract	In her dissertation the author investigates positive and negative aesthetic language judgements as well as affective language judgements by lay people. In the study at hand, the focus is exclusively on expressive negative folk metalanguage, i.e., negative aesthetic language judgements. By means of 280 semi-narrative interviews, judgements on the ugliness of languages were elicited in the French-speaking and the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The folk metalinguistic discourse elicited in this way results rather from internal (mental/cognitive) conscious processes (concepts) than from percepts. As a consequence, respondents may consciously consider holding back certain information they actually have access to in their inner resources. The article addresses the question whether and to what extend lay people are willing to express negative aesthetic language judgements and, in addition to that, what processes and considerations are involved when people retain information deliberately. Languages and varieties are identified which are salient in the negative folk metalanguage and show how lay people justify and conceptualise their negative aesthetic judgements. (Verlag, adapt.).
