The Oxford Handbook of Negation, 2020
This 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.

The Oxford Handbook of Experimental Semantics and Pragmatics, 2019
This 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.

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.

Negative Polarity Items in Chinese
2023Negative polarity items (NPIs) are well known for their limited distribution, that is, their negation-implicating contexts, the phenomenon of which has attracted much attention in generative linguistics since Klima’s seminal work. There is a large amount of research on NPI licensing that aims to (a) identify the range of potential licensors of NPIs ...

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.

A constraint-based modeling of negative polarity items in result clause constructions in Romanian
, 2020The paper discusses the occurrence of emphatic negative polarity items (NPIs) in high degree result clause constructions. We will identify four distributional patterns for Romanian emphatic NPIs.
