Offers a unified analysis of the syntax of negation that reinterprets the results of recent research by integrating a strictly syntactic account with the necessary semantic underpinnings. Within the Principles and Parameter framework highlights some problems with contemporary approaches based on the Negative Criterion, and addresses them by considering negative quantifiers as indefinites bound by a negated existential operator. Revised from a 1993 Ph.D. dissertation for Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book is the first cross-linguistic study of clausal negation based on an extensive and systematic language sample. Methodological issues, especially sampling, are discussed at length. Standard negation – the basic structural means languages have for negating declarative verbal main clauses – is typologized from a new perspective, paying attention to structural differences between affirmatives and negatives. In symmetric negation affirmative and negative structures show no differences except for the presence of the negative marker(s), whereas in asymmetric negation there are further structural differences, i.e. asymmetries. A distinction is made between constructional and paradigmatic asymmetry; in the former the addition of the negative marker(s) is accompanied by further structural differences in comparison to the corresponding affirmative, and in the latter the correspondences between the members of (verbal etc.) paradigms used in affirmatives and negatives are not one-to-one. Cross-cutting the constructional-paradigmatic distinction, asymmetric negation can be further divided into subtypes according to the nature of the asymmetry. Standard negation structures found in the 297 sample languages are exemplified and discussed in detail. The frequencies of the different types and some typological correlations are also examined. Functional motivations are proposed for the structural types – symmetric negatives are language-internally analogous to the linguistic structure of the affirmative and asymmetric negatives are language-externally analogous to different asymmetries between affirmation and negation on the functional level. Relevant diachronic issues are also discussed. The book is of interest to language typologists, descriptive linguists and to all linguists interested in negation.

"Despite almost three decades of sustained literary activity and a body of work that includes eleven novels and five volumes of poetry, Zulfikar Ghose remains a relatively obscure writer. Partly responsible is the difficulty of placing Ghose in any one literary tradition as a result of his experimental approach to language and narrative. This much-needed analysis traces continuities in Ghose's work and illustrates the relation between his changing narrative forms and the experience of marginalization. Ghose who now lives and works in the United States, spent his first seventeen years in India and his next seventeen in England. Chelva Kanaganayakam argues that his quest for new narrative modes is characteristic of the 'native-alien' experience and the search for identity." "In the first chapter the formal changes in Ghose's books of verse are used to set up a paradigm for the study as a whole. Chapter two contextualizes the early fiction within two traditions: the Anglo-Indian and the Indo-Anglian. The subsequent chapters deal with the individual novels. Through interesting close readings they chart the journey from mimesis through stream-of-consciousness; picaresque, metafiction, and magic realism." "Kanaganayakam also discusses the role of experimentation in post-colonial as well as post-modern writing and addresses the problematic issue of creating a poetics for dealing with post-colonial and marginal experience. During the last few years, issues of nation, nationalism, identity, ideology, and canonicity have become urgent and controversial with respect to post-colonial texts. Kanaganayakam shows that Ghose's writing is very much a response to a complex perception of post-coloniality. This is the first book-length study of Ghose's work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Every human language has some syntactic means of distinguishing a negative from a non-negative sentence; in other words, every speaker's syntactic competence provides a means to express sentential negation. This ability, however, may be expressed in different ways, as shown by the fact that individual languages employ different syntactic strategies for the expression of the same semantic function of negating a sentence. Zanuttini's goal here is to characterize the range of such variation by comparing the different syntactic means for expressing sentential negation exhibited by the members of one language family--the Romance languages--and by reducing the differences we witness to a constrained set of choices available to the particular grammars of these languages. This sort of analysis is a first step towards the ultimate goal of determining and understanding what limits there are on the syntactic options that universal grammar imposes on the expression of sentential negation.

First Published in 1994. This is an investigation to explore certain syntactic phenomena induced by sentence negation in Basque and English. In this study of linguistics the author attempts to provide a unified account of them, based on a universal requirement on functional heads. The requirement called the Tense C-command Condition requires that all functional heads in the clause that are propositional operators should be c-commanded by the head Tense at S-structure

Negation is one of the most discussed phenomena within linguistics, on all language levels though it never seems to be exhausted. This operator establishes complex sentence structures and constantly challenges – from a cognitive, syntactical, semantic and morphologic viewpoint – presuppositions on language internal relations as rational and logic. It therefore arouses interest through all fields within language sciences. From a pragmatic perspective, where negation is conceived a marked structure, using negation often produces meanings beyond the one of a reversed affirmation "it is not the case that X”. This book explores the various uses and pragmatic meanings of negation in authentic communication, in different text types and in different languages, predominately romance languages. The multilingual composition marries a macro-micro perspective where aspects of genre, sociocultural context, memory, rhetoric and argumentation interplay with the negative morpheme’s nature and embedded instructions. This broad approach makes this book a unique contribution to negation studies and to pragmatics in general. The book is important and enriching reading for scholars in all linguistic domains, but particularly for researchers in semantics, pragmatics, argumentation and, discourse analysis.

In the last decade, there has been a revival of interest regarding negation and polarity, with much cross-fertilization between semantic and syntactic approaches. The papers in the present volume address key issues regarding the syntax and semantics of negation and polarity, including both synchronic and diachronic perpectives. Central to the discussions are the distribution of negative markers and the structure of the clause, negative concord phenomena, licensing of polarity items, similarities between Neg-movement and wh-movement. The papers, by main contributors to the field, reflect different theoretical frameworks, including Principles and Parameters and Minimalist approaches, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Formal Semantics, or approaches interested in pragmatics. The volume is of interest to syntacticians, semanticians, historical linguists, typologists, and philosophers.
