Measuring the cognitive cost of downward monotonicity by controlling for negative polarity
Glossa, 2019 Our goal in this study was to behaviorally characterize the property (or properties) that render negative quantifiers more complex in processing compared to their positive counterparts (e.g. the pair few/many).

Quantification and polarity: negative adverbial intensifiers ('never ever', 'not at all', etc.) in Hausa [PDF]
, 2009 Hausa has a typologically interesting but poorly understood set of quantifying time and degree adverbs—equivalent to English 'never ever', 'not at all', etc.—which behave as negative polarity items and enhance the pragmatic impact of a negative utterance

Negative Bias in Polar Questions
, 2005 This paper investigates the discourse function of negative bias in questions. How and what such questions contribute to the logical form of discourse has not been the focus of previous work. We believe that such a discourse oriented approach, however, provides useful insight into the formal characteristics of bias. Adopting this perspective, we develop

Crowdsourcing a Word-Emotion Association Lexicon [PDF]
, 2012 Even though considerable attention has been given to the polarity of words (positive and negative) and the creation of large polarity lexicons, research in emotion analysis has had to rely on limited and small emotion lexicons.

When the syntactic bootstrap breaks: Some children think any means no
GlossaChildren can use distributional information about where words occur to figure out their meanings. But what happens when two very different words not only have most of their distribution in common, but also compose to form indistinguishable sentential ...

Influence of Polarity of Electro Discharge Machine (EDM) on Surface Roughness (SR) and Metal Removal Rate (MRR) of Low Carbon Steel [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2020 Electro discharge machining (EDM) is one of a thermal process that is used for remove of metal from the workpiece by spark erosion. The work of this machine depends on multiple variables. One of the more influential variants on this machine is the change

Stress-Induced Leakage Current in p+ Poly MOS Capacitors with Poly-Si and Poly-Si0.7Ge0.3 Gate Material [PDF]
, 1999 The gate bias polarity dependence of stress-induced leakage current (SILC) of PMOS capacitors with a p+ polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) and polycrystalline Silicon-Germanium (poly-Si0.7 Ge0.3) gate on 5.6-nm thick gate oxides has been investigated.

Topics in Linguistics, 2017 Recent work shows that downward entailment (DE) cannot be the right semantic domain that licenses negative polarity items (NPIs). Zwarts (1995), Giannakidou (1998), among others, argue that NPIs are licensed in non-veridical domains, those that do not ...

Minimizer negative polarity items in non-negative contexts
Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, 2021 Minimizer strong NPIs such as ˋˋlift a finger'' are known to be more restricted in their occurrence than weak NPIs like ˋˋever''. Sedivy 1990 points to contexts with a ˋˋnegative side message'' in which ˋˋlift a finger'' can occur but ˋˋever'' cannot.
