Sentential Negation in FrenchOxford University Press, USA, 26 aug. 1998 - 256 pagini This is the first full-length study of sentential negation phenomena in French. Paul Rowlett assesses, from a generative perspective, the respective contribution made to the expression of clausal polarity by ne, pas, and elements such as jamais and personne. His conclusions have far-reaching implications, leading to the controversial hypothesis that, despite widespread belief, French is not a negative concord language. |

Pagina 96 - Les langues suivent ainsi une sorte de developpement en spirale: elles ajoutent des mots accessoires pour obtenir une expression intense; ces mots s'affaiblissent, se degradent et tombent au niveau de simples outils grammaticaux ; on ajoute de nouveaux mots ou des mots differents en vue de 1'expression; I'affaiblissement recommence, et ainsi sans fin.

Pagina 99 - NC] becomes an habitual phenomenon in those languages only in which the ordinary negative element is comparatively small in phonetic bulk.... If this repetition is rarer in modern English and German than it was formerly, one of the reasons probably is that the fuller negative not and nicht have taken the place of the smaller ne and en.
Pagina 118 - A reflexive R must be bound in the domain D containing R and an X-bar compatible SUBJECT. If R is an X° (morphologically simple) reflexive, then its SUBJECTS are X° categories only, ie, Agr (as the only salient (c-commanding) head with pronominal features).

Pagina 86 - In this connexion it is interesting and important to observe that repeated negation becomes an habitual phenomenon in those languages only in which the ordinary negative element is comparatively small in phonetic bulk : ne or n- in Old English and Russian.
Pagina 37 - The AFFECT criterion: a. Each AFFECTIVE X° must be in a spec-head relationship with an AFFECTIVE operator. b. Each AFFECTIVE operator must be in a spec-head relationship with an AFFECTIVE X°.
