I'm not a native speaker of English, and I've learnt that both expressions are totally interchangeable, but I've seen that when people want to be more emphatic, they use "nothing", rather than "not...anything", or "nowhere" rather than "not...anywhere", or "nobody", rather than "not...anybody", etc. Is that true?
And also, is "She's not married" more emphatic than "She isn't married"? Or are those just my assumptions?
