Abstract:

This is the second book in a two-volume comparative history of negation in the
languages of Europe and the Mediterranean. The work integrates typological,
general, and theoretical research, documents patterns and directions of change
in negation across languages, and examines the linguistic and social factors
that lie behind such changes. The aim of both volumes is to set out an
integrated framework for understanding the syntax of negation and how it
changes. It sheds light on the major ways in which negative systems develop,
on the nature of syntactic change, and indeed on linguistic change more
generally, demonstrating the insights that large-scale comparison of
linguistic histories can offer.
