This book provides an in-depth discussion of the expression of negation in
Welsh, especially in colloquial, or informal, Welsh. The book draws on
modern grammatical theory to provide detailed and precise descriptions of
one of the richest and most complex areas of Welsh grammar. It also
develops formal analyses and explores the implications of the Welsh facts
for grammatical theory. It should be of interest both to readers with an
interest in Welsh but with little knowledge of grammatical theory, and to
specialists in grammatical theory with little or no knowledge of Welsh.
