This book presents a novel overarching account of negation and
negative dependencies, based on novel data from language variation,
language acquisition, and language change. Negation is a universal
property of natural language, but languages can significantly
differ in how they express it: there is variation in the form and
position of negative elements, the number of manifestations of
negative morphemes, and in the restrictions on the use of Negative
and Positive Polarity Items. In this volume, Hedde Zeijlstra
explores the hypothesis that all known syntactic, semantic,
pragmatic, and lexical ways of encoding dependencies should be also
be attested in the domain of negation, unless they are
independently ruled out. He shows that the pluriform landscape of
negative dependencies and markers of negation that emerges has
broader implications for theories of syntax and semantics and their
interface.
