Abstract:

With this book, the author explores the syntax of negative sentences,tracing fine-grained contours of the linguistic variation and offering adetailed cartographic representation of the distribution of negative markers.

The goal is to show the existing tension in Language between the variablesurface realization of negation and its stable logical representation. Inorder to solve this tension and to unify the interpretation of negativesentences, a mapping operation, LF-Negation Raising, is proposed.

Verbal arguments related to negation such as n-words, negative quantifiersand negative polarity items will be also considered, in order to derivenegative concord phenomena from the inner semantics of nominal constituents.

Linguistic Field(s): Syntax
