Abstract:

This book presents a novel overarching account of negation and negative
dependencies, based on novel data from language variation, language
acquisition, and language change. Negation is a universal property of natural
language, but languages can significantly differ in how they express it: there
is variation in the form and position of negative elements, the number of
manifestations of negative morphemes, and in the restrictions on the use of
Negative and Positive Polarity Items. In this volume, Hedde Zeijlstra explores
the hypothesis that all known syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and lexical ways
of encoding dependencies should be also be attested in the domain of negation,
unless they are independently ruled out. He shows that the pluriform landscape
of negative dependencies and markers of negation that emerges has broader
implications for theories of syntax and semantics and their interface.
