Abstract:

In Historical Aspects of Standard Negation in Semitic Ambjörn Sjörs
investigates the grammar of standard negation in a wide selection of Semitic
languages. The bulk of the investigation consists of a detailed analysis of
negative constructions and is based on a first-hand examination of the
examples in context.

The main issues that are investigated in the book relate to the historical
change of the expression of verbal negation in Semitic and the reconstruction
of the genealogical relationship of negative constructions. It shows how
negation is constantly renewed from the reanalysis of emphatic negative
constructions, and how structural asymmetries between negative constructions
and the corresponding affirmative constructions arise from the linguistically
conservative nature of negative vis-à-vis affirmative clauses.
