Abstract:

Despite intensive research, negation remains elusive. Its expression across
languages, its underlying cognitive mechanisms, its development across time,
and related phenomena, such as negative polarity and negative concord, leave
many unresolved issues of both a definitional and a substantive nature. Such
issues are at the heart of the present volume, which presents a twofold
contribution. The first part offers a mix of large-scale typological surveys
and in-depth investigation of the evolution of negation in individual
languages and language families that have not frequently been studied from
this point of view, such as Chinese, Berber, Quechua, and Austronesian
languages. The second part centers on French, a language whose early stages
are comparatively richly documented and which therefore provides an important
test case for hypotheses about the diachrony of negative marking.
Representing, moreover, a variety of theoretical approaches, the volume will
be of interest to researchers on negation, language change, and typology.
