AbstractAlthough decades of research have illuminated the licensing requirements, both syntactic and semantic, of negative polarity items, the matter of how these licensing requirements are satisfied in real time, as a sentence is being processed, remains an ill-understood problem.

AbstractThis chapter investigates the phenomenon of negative polarity sensitivity. The term negative polarity items (NPIs) has been introduced in the literature to refer to forms whose distribution was observed to polarize in negative contexts. NPIs can vary from indefinites that take a special form when they occur in the scope of negation, e.g. any in

Licensing Negative Polarity Items
2021This chapter concerns the role that syntax plays in licensing NPIs (negative polarity items). Scholars have argued for a semantic approach to characterizing the unifying properties of the wide range of licensors, such as negation, disjunction, interrogation, and subjunctives, licensors that all share the semantic notion of nonveridicality.

Negative polarity and the comparative
Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, 1983In this paper I have given a rather simple and, I believe, elegant semantics for the comparative, No account has been given of NP-comparatives involving measure noun phrases as in . See Klein (1980: 27ff.) for an excellent discussion.

The representation of Neg-Raising in the grammar is a matter of controversy. I provide evidence for representing Neg-Raising as a kind of presupposition associated with certain predicates by providing a detailed analysis of NPI-licensing in Neg-Raising contexts.

AbstractThis chapter presents an overview of the experimental investigations on Negative Polarity Items (NPIs). NPIs are grammatically licensed under a set of complex semantic, syntactic and pragmatic conditions. The linguistic complexity of NPI licensing makes it a rich empirical domain for investigating the cognitive architecture of language ...
