Abstract
Chapter 1 introduces the empirical scope of the study on the expression and interpretation of negation in natural language. Background notions on negation in logic and language are introduced, and a range of linguistic issues concerning negation at the syntax–semantics interface are discussed. Cross-linguistic variation is a major topic, in both synchronic (typology) and diachronic (language change) perspectives.
