Summary:

This scholarly volume explores the phenomenon of Strict Negative Concord (NC) within Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages through the lens of generative grammar. Edited by Gréte Dalmi, Jacek Witkoś, and Piotr Cegłowski, this work delves into the linguistic structures and licensing conditions of negative expressions in various languages. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how multiple negative expressions can result in a singular negation, a feature that distinguishes Strict NC languages from their Non-Strict counterparts. It brings together contributions from multiple linguists, offering insights into the typology, theoretical approaches, and specific language cases such as Czech, Slovenian, Vepsian, Hungarian, Mari, and Selkup. The intended audience includes researchers, linguistics students, and others interested in advanced topics of syntax and typology. Generated by AI.
