Sobre la posición de la negación: la estructura <no + participio>

Abstract

This paper studies the structure in which negation precedes a participle, following the scheme <no + participle>; specifically, establishing the conditions under which that sequence is possible. It is argued that there are two requirements that determine the possibility of having that construction: on the one hand, the participle must contain verbal structure and, specifically, the projection corresponding to the causative subevent; on the other hand, negation must not interfere between the heads that form the participle. The second condition allowing to understand why <no + participle> is possible in the nominal domain, but not in verbal periphrases. The first one accounts for the fact that not all participial forms that modify a noun accept the anteposition of no.
