nota (ru-en)

1. She didn't speak for long

2. She didn't speak for a long time

Нашел в английском учебнике.

Там утверждают, что иногда разница между ними довольно большая.

А как нейтивы считают, интересно?

To me they mean the same thing.

1. Она не говорила долго. = Она говорила кратко
2. Она не говорила долгое время = Она давно не разговаривала
Так в учебнике трактуется.

The reason for the difference is to do with the 'scope of negation': in the first sentence,... 'not' goes with 'for long', but in the second... 'for a long time' is outside the influence of 'not' (it could go at the beginning of the clause)

1. =She only spoke for a short time
2. =She was silent for a long time

Учебник прав - разница не сразу пришла мне в голову.
