Chapter 1Introduction

Lee, Chungmin

Pages: 1 –18

[The motivation of the volume is first presented by sketching the historical developments of investigations on various negative expressions throughout history in the West and the East. A central concept is classical negation as a truth-reverser vs. asymmetric negation for contrariness and...

Dynamic Pragmatic View of Negation Processing

Tian, Ye; Breheny, Richard

Pages: 21 –43

[Many psycholinguistic studies have found that processing negative sentences is difficult, and often involves the representation of the positive argument. Current rejection accounts suggest that processing the positive argument is the mandatory first step of negation processing, and the...

A Featural Approach to Sign Language Negation

Pfau, Roland

Pages: 45 –74

[In all Sign Languages (SLs) studied to date, negation can be expressed by manual negative signs and by non-manual markers (mostly a headshake). The way these two types of markers interact, however, has been shown to be subject to cross-linguistic variation. In particular, in some SLs, the use of...

Morphosyntactic Correlates of Gestures: A Gesture Associated with Negation in French and Its Organisation with Speech

Harrison, Simon; Larrivée, Pierre

Pages: 75 –94

[In this paper, we present novel observations indicating that the syntax of clause negation in French constrains how speakers perform a specific gestural form associated with negation. As previously demonstrated for English (Harrison 2010), the Palm-Down-Horizontal-Across (PDA) gesture that we...

A Child’s Multimodal Negations from 1 to 4: The Interplay Between Modalities

Beaupoil-Hourdel, Pauline; Morgenstern, Aliyah; Boutet, Dominique

Pages: 95 –123

[Previous research on first language acquisition has highlighted the relation between actions, gestures and speech to express negation. As discussed by Watson (1925) and Clark (1978), children’s first negative constructions seem to take over from early gestures of rejection and avoidance. This...

When Negatives Are Easier to Understand Than Affirmatives: The Case of Negative Sarcasm

Giora, Rachel

Pages: 127 –143

[Based on Hebrew items, I present here findings showing that some novel negative constructions (e.g. Supportive he is not; Punctuality is not her forte/what she excels at) are interpreted and rated as sarcastic even when in isolation, and even when involving no semantic anomaly or internal...

Double Negation in Catalan and Spanish. Interaction Between Syntax and Prosody

Espinal, M. Teresa; Tubau, Susagna; Borràs-Comes, Joan; Prieto, Pilar

Pages: 145 –176

[This study focuses on the interaction between prosody and syntax in the interpretation of single negation and Double Negation in two Negative Concord languages, namely Catalan and Spanish. By means of two perception experiments, we investigate the role of two major formal conditions in the...

The Markedness of Double Negation

Larrivée, Pierre

Pages: 177 –198

[Is Double Negation (DN) a marked interpretation with respect to Negative Concord (NC) as universally assumed? This is what is verified in this article that reports on actual usage in French and English. It investigates three configurations with multiple clause-mate negative expressions (clausal...

Identifying the Role of Pragmatic Activation in Changes to the Expression of English Negation

Wallage, Phillip

Pages: 199 –227

[This paper builds on Wallage (2013) to demonstrate that pragmatic activation plays a role in two processes of grammaticalisation in early English—not only in the grammaticalisation of the negative marker not during Middle English (c. 1100–1500AD), but also in the grammaticalisation of do as a...

Metalinguistically Negated Versus Descriptively Negated Adverbials: ERP and Other Evidence

Lee, Chungmin

Pages: 229 –255

[This paper explores degree modifiers licensed exclusively by metalinguistic negation (MN), and compare them with those licensed by descriptive negation (DN) such as NPIs. It shows how MN-licensing is more marked than DN-licensing in prosody and then attempts to show how anomalies arising from...
