shall not (Futur für 1. Person Singular / Plural)

(will not = won't)

Most AE speakers dropped the shall/will distinction long ago (to the loss of "shall").

The traditional rule in standard British English is that shall is used with first person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while will is used with second and third person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they). For example:
I shall be late.
They will not have enough food.
However, when it comes to expressing a strong determination to do something, the roles are reversed: will is used with the first person, and shall with the second and third. For example:
I will not tolerate such behaviour.
You shall go to the ball!
In practice, though, the two words are used more or less interchangeably, and this is now an acceptable part of standard British and American English.

Australians too – shall has never been part of my active vocabulary!

Echt, Stravinsky, nicht mal als Frage? Shall I make us a nice pot of tea? Wie würdest Du das ausdrücken?

D'ya want a cuppa?

(or: Should I make us a nice pot of Earl Grey?)

And, if truth be told, most BE speakers have also dropped the distinction for the most part.

Remember, though, its other use for emphasis in the 2nd and 3rd person forms:
"You shall go to the ball, Cinderella."

Ziemlich am Anfang von "Harry Potter" Band 1 erzählt Mrs Dursley stolz ihrem Mann, der kleine Sohn Dudley (der ein verzogenes Ekelpaket ist) habe ein neues Wort gelernt: "Shan't".

Ist das gängige Kindersprache für "will aber nicht"?

Let's not get confused. 'Shall' is alive and well in the 3rd person, especially in legal language (but then the contraction 'shan't' wouldn't be used, obviously). In other contexts in the 3rd person, and in the 2nd person generally, it's use (positive and negative) is, I would say, declining rapidly even in BE.

As for the 1st person, the contraction 'I'll' is so common that I doubt whether many people consider whether they're saying 'shall' or 'will', so the distinction is dying out. However, the question form, as Lady Grey mentioned above, is still common, both in the singular 'Shall I...' which is not so much a question as an offer, and in the (inclusive) plural 'Shall we...', which is a suggestion and means 'Let's...', as we can see from the tag-question to 'let's', which is '..., shall we?', as in: Let's go to the cinema, shall we?

So viele Apostrophe (ist das der Plural von Apostroph? :O) haben excoville wohl verwirrt - es muss heißen "its use (positive and negative)..."

Was ist eigentlich aus der schönen Leo-Tradition geworden, Stamm-Schreiber-Kollegen per PM auf Tipp- oder Leichtsinnsfehler hinzuweisen? Ich wundere mich, seit ich nach Längerem mal wieder hier bin, über die unnötig öffentlichen Verbesserungen in Folge-Posts. Eine PM hätte escoville freundlich die Gelegenheit gegeben, seinen Fehler zu verbessern, und hätte den Faden nicht unnötig aufgeblasen.

Dear Zöpfli

I shall forgive you for pointing that out, but spelling my name wrong will require a penance on your part (please impose one on yourself).

re #7: Eher 'Nö, mach ich aber nicht' als 'will nicht'.

Wir sagen das manchmal im Spaß, genauso wie 'shall' im Aussagesatz, aber im unironischen (und unjuristischen) Gebrauch würde ich auch zustimmen, dass es ziemlich ausgestorben ist.

Gibson has a point: "shan't" (by itself) is (or was) sometimes used as a petulant refusal.

Thank you so much for your answers.

I really liked Stravinsky's suggestion (and Australian English version) to ask somebody whether he would like to have a cup of tea. :-D
It was so inspiring that I brewed myself a mug of finest English Breakfast tea immediately. ;-)

Kind regards from Hamburg!
