著作简介
Negation and Negative Dependencies
《否定及否定依存》
Abstract：
This book presents a novel overarching account of negation and negative dependencies, based on novel data from language variation, language acquisition, and language change. Negation is a universal property of natural language, but languages can significantly differ in how they express it: there is variation in the form and position of negative elements, the number of manifestations of negative morphemes, and in the restrictions on the use of Negative and Positive Polarity Items. In this volume, Hedde Zeijlstra explores the hypothesis that all known syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and lexical ways of encoding dependencies should be also be attested in the domain of negation, unless they are independently ruled out. He shows that the pluriform landscape of negative dependencies and markers of negation that emerges has broader implications for theories of syntax and semantics and their interface.
简介：
该书基于语言变异、语言习得和语言变化的研究和观察，对否定和否定依存关系进行了全新的探索。 否定是自然语言的普遍属性，在不同语言中存在着显著差异，如体现在形式、位置、数量及限制条件等方面。在该书中，Hedde Zeijlstra 提出了这样一个假设，即句法、语义、语用和词汇中的依存关系都可以在否定域中得到证明，除非它们被单独考虑。作者认为，否定依存和否定标记对句法和语义理论及其接口问题具有深远影响。

Hedde Zeijlstra ，德国哥廷根大学英语语言学和理论语法教授，曾在阿姆斯特丹大学、蒂宾根大学以及麻省理工学院任职。他致力于句法-语义接口的研究，在否定及否定依存方面取得的成果极为丰硕，包括否定一致性、否定极性敏感性和肯定极性敏感性等。同时，他还对一致、时态、情态和语序限制条件等问题进行了探索。
Hedde Zeijlstra is Professor of English Linguistics and Theory of Grammar at the University of Göttingen, and previously held positions at the universities of Amsterdam and Tübingen, and at MIT. He is an expert on the syntax-semantics interface, and has worked intensively on negation and negative dependencies, including negative concord, negative polarity sensitivity, and positive polarity sensitivity. He has also worked agreement phenomena, as well as tense, modality, and word order constraints.
