Hi maybenot
There is a significant difference between usual meanings of the sentences with «for long» and those with «for a long time».
With «for long», the usual meaning is «I do X now, but I’ve only been doing X for a short time»:I haven’t known them for long I know them, but I only met them a short time ago
I haven’t lived here for long I live here, but I only moved here a short while ago.
I haven’t seen him for long could mean I’ve only seen him for short periods
I haven’t had a decent meal for long.
I haven’t been in Japan for long I’m in Japan, but I’ve only been here a short while.
With «for a long time» the usual meaning is «I don’t do X any more; it’s a long time since I last did X»:
I haven’t known them for a long time.could be OK in the context of knowing facts: I used to know them, but I forgot them a long time ago
I haven’t lived here for a long time. I used to live here, but I moved away a long time ago
I haven’t seen him for a long time. The last time I saw him was a long time ago
I haven’t had a decent meal for a long time. The last time I had a decent meal was a long time ago
I haven’t been in Japan for a long time. The last time I was in Japan was a long time ago
That said, the red sentences can sometimes — if they are given a particular intonation — be used with the meaning of the blue sentences.

Thanks, Loob. That helps a lot, especially the caveat you’ve attached at the end.
>I haven’t had a decent meal for long.
I wonder why this sentence alone seems unacceptable …
-
#4
That sentence doesn’t work because it means something like «I’ve got a decent meal in front of me now, but it’s only been there for a short time, not a long time».
It’s not the grammar that’s the problem, but the meaning. You could say, for example «I haven’t had my car for long».

Hello Maybenot,
As a native speaker, I often go by what simply «sounds» correct in cases like these, where the differences are rather subtle.
It is possible to imagine, but it is a stretch, a situation in which the sentences:
I haven’t seen him for long.
I haven’t been in Japan for long.
would make sense, but they don’t «sound» right to these ears. They are ungraceful, and there are better ways to express the thought. For example:
I haven’t seen him for a long time.
and
I haven’t been in Japan very long.
Both of these latter constructions are more clear and much more common.
But it will take a better grammarian than me to explain why these sentences work better. They just do.
Best, Antony

#6
AntonyM’s post has made me think about a further dimension to this, maybenot.
«For» can be omitted from both constructions, with interesting results.
If we remove «for» from the blue sentences in my previous post, the meaning stays the same (although one previously doubtful sentence becomes impossible):
I haven’t known them long I know them, but I only met them a short time ago
I haven’t lived here long I live here, but I only moved here a short while ago.
I haven’t seen him long
I haven’t had a decent meal long.
I haven’t been in Japan long I’m in Japan, but I’ve only been here a short while.
If we remove «for» from the red sentences, though, the meaning changes completely and becomes identical to that of the blue sentences (I’m colouring them purple below to make the point):
I haven’t known them a long time I know them, but I only met them a short time ago
I haven’t lived here a long time I live here, but I only moved here a short while ago.
I haven’t seen him a long time
I haven’t had a decent meal a long time.
I haven’t been in Japan a long time I’m in Japan, but I’ve only been here a short while.
Perhaps that’s why the original red sentences can — if they are given a particular intonation — sometimes be used with the meaning of the blue sentences.
-
#7
Thanks, Antony.
Loob:
To continue with your modifications, how does the following sound?
I haven’t seen him so long.
I haven’t had a decent meal so long.
IF the above sounds much better, how about:
I haven’t seen him for so long.
I haven’t had a decent meal for so long.
-
#8
A very natural use of «for long» is after a negative future tense:
I won’t be here for long. [I’ll be gone from here soon.]
With «so long», you have to use the for (or in), and you need context to support the so. For example:
Six weeks? And only now do I realize I haven’t had a decent meal for so long.
-
#9
Ok, so the differences are small.
Please correct me if what I’m going to say is wrong:
Ex.: «I’ve been waiting for him for long / for so long / for a long time» are acceptable sentences.
«I’ve been waiting for him for a long time» is the standard form.
«I’ve been waiting for him for long» —> I don’t why, but to me it sounds colloquial…
«I’ve been waiting for him for so long» : The stress is on time. I’ve been waiting for a very very long time and I’m upset.
Is it alright?
Another question: is the action still in progress in these 3 questions?
Thanks.

I don’t think it works to use «for long» in the positive:
I’ve been waiting for him for long.X
She said she’d been waiting for him for long.X
I haven’t been waiting for him for long.
I don’t think I’ve been waiting for him for long.
Have you been waiting for him for long?
I wonder whether I’ve been waiting for him for long.
If I’ve been waiting for him for long, I ought to call him again.
Don’t wait for long.
Wait for long.XThe waiting, or not waiting, is ongoing. (I hesitate to call waiting or not waiting an action.)

I have changed my mind about «I haven’t seen him so long.» It is fine if it means «I haven’t seen him that long», contradicting something like «I’ve seen him so long I’ll never forget his face.» (OK too.)
In this sense, I still probably wouldn’t say «I haven’t had a decent meal so long.»
-
#12
Thanks, Forero.
>In this sense, I still probably wouldn’t say «I haven’t had a decent meal so long.»
I take it that the differences are very subtle, and depending on the context and the intonation used, they can lend themselves to disparate interpretations. For example, (correct me if I am wrong) I can imagine native speakers saying something like:
Physician: All of your skin problems can be attributed to unbalanced diet, especially nutritional deficiencies involving vitamins, minerals, and protein.
Patient: That figures. I haven’t had a decent meal so long.
-
#13
No, sorry, maybenot, that doesn’t work. It would have to be «for so long» (or «in so long») not just «so long».
-
#14
Thanks, Loob. I stand corrected. However, does that mean the example Forero has given:
«I’ve seen him so long I’ll never forget his face.» (OK too.)
should include for as well?
-
#15
Forero’s example works in the very specific situation he describes in post 11.
-
#16
Thanks, Loob, except that I’m still puzzled.
-
#17
Hi again, maybenot
Let’s try a parallel with Forero’s post 11, but start by substituting «my car» for «a decent meal».
Imagine a situation in which I have owned my car for only three months.
You and I could have a dialogue as follows:
Maybenot: Surely you’ve had your car a long time?
Loob: No, not really, I haven’t had it so long.
(I’d actually be more likely to say I haven’t had it that long/all that long.)
I’d also be able to say I haven’t had the car [for] long or I haven’t had the car a long time.
Now, if I want to say similar things about a decent meal, I have to imagine a similar situation: I have to imagine that I have owned a decent meal for three months (or some other period of time)
The situation doesn’t make sense, so the sentences relating to it don’t make sense either.
-
#18
I’ve been trying to think of a better way to explain this.
I think the negative present perfect sentences we’ve been talking about divide into two groups. (I’m choosing different colours this time)
In the first group, the meaning is actually a positive one: I do X now, but I only started doing X a short while ago.
I haven’t lived here long
I haven’t lived here for long
I haven’t lived here a long time
All of these imply: I live here, but I only moved here a short while ago.
In the second group, the meaning is more negative: I don’t do X now, and the last time I did X was a long time ago.
I haven’t lived here for a long time
I haven’t lived here for so long/ such a long time!
I haven’t lived here for so long/ such a long time [that I can’t find my way around].
All of these imply: «I don’t live here now, and the last time I did live here was a long time ago.»
Now, we’ve got two difficult sentences [I haven’t seen him… and I haven’t had a decent meal…] that we want to fit into these groups.
There’s no problem with fitting either of them into the pink group, by adding «for a long time» or «for so long» or «for such a long time». The meaning here would be «The last time I saw him was a long time ago»/»The last time I had [= ate] a decent meal was a long time ago».
But there
is
a problem with fitting them into the green group. The difficulty has to do with the meaning of the sentences.
I haven’t seen him… as a green group sentence would mean «I see him now, but I only started seeing him a short time ago» (It
could
work if «see» means «date», but then the continuous form of the verb would be more likely: «I haven’t been seeing him [for] long».
I haven’t had a decent meal… as a green group sentence would mean «I possess a decent meal now, but I only started possessing it a short time ago». {The meaning of «have» changes from «take/eat» to «possess, own».}
Forero’s post 11 construction «I haven’t seen him so long» (and my similar «I haven’t had my car so long») is actually a rather different construction = I haven’t had/done X as long as all that.
If it’s still puzzling, let us know, and we’ll keep trying with the explanations
-
#19
Sorry to keep you, been waiting long?
I think the usages are somewhat different if you divide the actions into two categories
a) ones that are intrinsically continuous types with variable duration (living, waiting, owning a car etc)
b) those that are short events whose variation is not usually discussed (eat a meal, have a meal, see someone).
That’s because the continuous types of action can be described as occurring for a long duration or short duration and the construction must take that into account, as well as how long ago the action took place. For the event type actions the «long» nearly always refers to when the action happened relative to some time (usually the present time) and not how long the event usually took (how long does it take to «see» someone — that’s not usually a topic of a question).
Hope that helps sort out the distinctions
-
#20
Thanks, Loob and Julian, for lucid summaries.
When I posted #7 and #12, I had in mind the question: What difference does it make whether you include the proposition for.
The only thing that remains for me at this point is the intonation thing that Loob pointed out in her very first (and excellent) response. To emphasize, isn’t the following a plausible dialogue between native speakers of English:
Physician: All of your skin problems can be attributed to unbalanced diet, especially nutritional deficiencies involving vitamins, minerals, and protein.
Patient: That figures. I haven’t had a decent meal (maybe a slight pause here) sooo looong.

No, maybenot. As we’ve said before, you cannot say that sentence, with any intonation, and make it meaningful.
You might want to look again at Julian’s helpful distinction in post 19.

Hi, maybenot.
There is a difference between «so long» and «in so long». Leaving off the preposition, a sentence like:
I haven’t lived here so long.
means that the time I
have
lived here has
not
been so long. But add the preposition:
I haven’t lived here in so long.
and the meaning is now that the time I have
not
lived here
has
been so long.
I hope this makes sense.
What makes all this confusing is that «
for
so long» is ambiguous. Sometimes «
for
so long» means the same as «so long» with no preposition and sometimes it means the same as «
in
so long».
I haven’t lived here for so long.
Two meanings—
- I haven’t lived here so long.
- I haven’t lived here in so long.
Intonation can sometimes help take the confusion out of the ambiguity, but unfortunately the ambiguity with «for so long» cannot really be eliminated without more context.
The same thing happens with «a long time», «
in
a long time», and the ambiguous «
for
a long time».
The short form without «(a) time» is never used with in, so «for long» just means «long» and is not ambigous:
I haven’t lived here for long. = I haven’t lived here long. = The time that I
have
lived here has
not
been long.
The other issues we have been discussing have to do with interpreting the rest of the sentence:
Odd sentences:
I have never known him. (met?)
I haven’t known him in a long time. (same problem)
I have always had a decent meal. (needs context)
I have had a decent meal a long time. (same issue)
I have always seen him. (even when you aren’t looking?)
I have seen him a long time. (same question)
It is possible, with context, to make sense out of these oddities, but the issues are not so much with the «long time» part as with what it is you are trying to say with the rest of the sentence.
Here is an interesting sentence:
I have not lived here long in a long time.
This means that the time is long that I have only spent short stays here.
This works because «I have lived» can refer to multiple times, and each time has its own length. This has to do with verbal aspect, which is the main thing that makes some sentences just seem incompatible with certain adverbials of time.

I see your point clearly; and I will try not to say or write something like:
“ I haven’t laughed so long and so loudly in a theatre for a long time “ – The Guardian
or
I haven’t laughed so long in such a long time, my cheeks were burning and stomach ached from laughing so much.
Again, many thanks for your help.

Maybenot, both of these sentences are fine.
The basic structure is (first sentence) «I haven’t laughed [in that way] for a long time» (second sentence) «I haven’t laughed [in that way] in such a long time».
How did I laugh? In the first sentence, so long and so loudly; in the second sentence so long.

Oops, my mistake!
Loob, since I slip up so many times, I’d like to try one last time. To quote from what’s on the web, it’s something like the following that we need to avoid:

— Dear Diary: Sorry I haven’t written so long.
