Abstract

This paper, which adopts a Chomskyan approach to syntactic theory, proposes an analysis for paradigms in Russian and Welsh where sentential negation correlates with changes in Case-marking and agreement morphology; changes which exhibit apparent definiteness effects. In the analysis sentential is treated as a functional head, which generates a maximal projection, Negation Phrase. A structural account is then provided for the observed changes in agreement phenomena and Case-marking in negated clauses in these languages.
