“‘We don’t need no education’ – On negative concord”
Dia 17 de outubro, 11h, Anfiteatro Nobre, FLUP
Resumo: Languages can express negative indefiniteness with dedicated pronouns such as English nobody or French personne or multifunctional ones such as English anybody, as in I didn‘t see anybody. The negation can be expressed solely on the indefinite pronoun, on the clausal level or on both the indefinite pronoun and the clausal level, a constellation often called ‘negative concord’. I aim at an understanding of the frequency of the various strategies, of the nature and diachrony of ’negative concord’ and of the different approaches in current linguistics.
