Studies on Negation

Syntax, Semantics, and Variation

About this book

Negation ist eine universelle Eigenschaft der menschlichen Sprache. Als primĂ€re Disziplin der Logik tritt Negation in typologisch unterschiedlichsten Erscheinungsformen auf und spielt eine große Rolle fĂŒr die Syntax-Semantik-Schnittstelle. Mit diesem Band soll die umfassende Forschungsliteratur zur Negation durch eine Reihe von aktuellen Studien ergĂ€nzt werden. Alle BeitrĂ€ge beziehen sich auf Fragen oder Kontroversen, die sich mit der Syntax, Semantik und Variation negativer Elemente befassen, und gehen von der Annahme aus, dass ein grundlegendes VerstĂ€ndnis der verschiedenen Realisierungen der Negation zentral fĂŒr unser GrammatikverstĂ€ndnis ist. Die hier veröffentlichten BeitrĂ€ge berĂŒcksichtigen verschiedene Herangehensweisen und eine Vielfalt empirischer und analytischer Details.Negation is a universal feature of human language that is inherently logical in nature, presents typologically diverse manifestations, and plays a fundamental role in the mapping between syntactic structure and semantic interpretation. The aim of this volume is to complement the vast body of research literature by offering a set of cutting-edge studies on negation. All the contributions are related to recent questions bearing on the syntax and semantics of negative elements and the variation in their form, and follow the central assumption that a proper understanding of the multifaceted expression of negation is central to our understanding of the grammar as a whole. With this in mind, different approaches and a variety of empirical and analytic details have been included in this volume.
