Multiple negative fragmentary answers

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article shows that fragmentary negative concord answers in Japanese are derived by movement of the negative concord item to the specifier of C with a negative feature. Movement is driven by an uninterpretable feature on the negative concord item. Multiple fragmentary negative concord answers form a surprising constituent (Takano (2002).
