Negation in Classical Japanese : A Preliminary Survey
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: This paper reports a preliminary survey on negation in Classical Japanese with descriptive and theoretical perspectives. Some salient facets of negation are first presented with attested data from the Heian Period prose in the tenth and eleventh centuries. The discussion is then focused upon sentence negation and relative scope which exhibit sharp discrepancies between form and meaning. In due course, theoretical remarks and speculations are made from the viewpoint of Minimalist syntax.
