Grammar of Negation

by Jong-Bok Kim

Overview

Investigating various aspects of negation in Korean, English, French, and Italian, Kim (English language and literature, Kyung Hee U., Seoul) develops a non-derivational, lexicalist analysis within the constraint-based framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. He demonstrates that a constraint-based approach can capture the distributional possibilities of negative elements and explain related phenomena simple through their lexical element and the interaction of the elementary morphosyntactic and valence properties of syntactic heads. The study is revised from his 1995 doctoral dissertation for Stanford University. Distributed in the US by Cambridge University Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
