Abstract

This chapter integrates the results on sentential negation (from Chapter 3) with the analysis of negative concord and double negation (from Chapter 4). Section 1 develops the classification of co-occurrence restrictions between sentential negation and negative indefinites in negative concord and double negation languages. The grammar of negative spread supports the claims made by de Swart and Sag’s (2002) that in the presence of n-words, the marker of sentential negation in negative concord languages is semantically redundant (Section 2).
