A Syntactic study of the Chinese negative polarity item renhe
Cahiers de linguistique - Asie orientale, 1996 In Chinese, the polarity sensitive (PS) renhe 'any' can occur only in negative polarity contexts such as negation, yes-no questions and conditionals. Our study shows that PS renhe must occur in the c-command domain of its licensor at LF. The distance of licensing depends on the verb type, and can either cross at most one clause boundary or more than ...

Negative polarity items in Ewe
Journal of Linguistics, 2017Collins & Postal (2014) argue that English NPIs have two distinct syntactic structures: a unary NEG structure and a binary NEG structure. They suggest that this distinction is generally valid for natural languages. This formal difference was taken to reconstruct the common distinction in NPI studies between strong and weak NPIs.

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.
