Abstract

This paper explores clauses of substitution (e.g. instead of relaxing on the beach, he went to a concert) in a sample of forty-six languages. It is shown that clauses of substitution marked with monofunctional conjunctions or monofunctional converbs may not occur with standard negative markers. Clauses of substitution appearing with polyfunctional conjunctions or polyfunctional converbs may occur with obligatory standard negative markers. In these cases, negation shows a negative import as an effect of compositional interpretation. Interestingly, there are languages in which clauses of substitution marked with monofunctional clause-linking devices may occur with optional negative markers. In this scenario, the presence or absence of the negative marker does not change the adverbial relation holding between clauses. Instead, it seems to have an expressive- evaluative layer of semantic interpretation. When the negative marker is present in the clause of substitution, it indicates that the situation was not surprising. When the negative marker is absent, the situation must be understood as surprising.
替代从句中标准否定的相互作用:一种类型学解释
本文研究了46种语言样本中的替代从句(例如,他没有在海滩上放松,而是去听了一场音乐会)。结果表明,用单功能连词或单功能转换标记的替代子句可能不会出现在标准的否定标记中。带有多功能连词或多功能转换词的替代子句可能带有强制性的标准否定标记。在这些情况下,否定作为构成解释的影响显示出消极的重要性。有趣的是,在一些语言中,带有单功能从句连接装置的替代子句可能会出现带有可选否定标记的替代子句。在这种情况下,否定标记的存在与否并不会改变子句之间的状语关系。相反,它似乎有一个语义解释的表达-评价层。当否定标记出现在替代子句中,这表明这种情况并不令人惊讶。当负面标记不存在时,这种情况必须被理解为令人惊讶。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
