Abstract

Thoms et al. (2023) propose a system of negation involving two base–generated NegPs, one below T and the other above T, claiming that negative inflections do not syntactically attach to T, but merge with T morphophonologically. Their analysis is driven by the distribution of the contracted negative inflection –nae in Scots negative imperatives and assumptions about adverbial positioning. Clitic vs. affix is claimed insufficient to characterize –nae vs. –n’t. However, further considerations of adverb positioning and other phenomena demonstrate that the two–NegP analysis is unnecessary, and that the clitic/affix distinction can characterize –nae and –n’t, respectively.

论苏格兰语中的约定否定

Thoms 等人（2023 年）提出了一个否定系统，该系统涉及两个基本生成的否定语气词，一个在 T 下面，另一个在 T 上面。他们的分析依据的是苏格兰否定祈使句中收缩的否定语气词 -nae 的分布以及对副词定位的假设。Clitic vs. affix 被认为不足以描述 -nae vs. -n't。然而，对副词定位和其他现象的进一步考虑表明，两个否定语气词的分析是不必要的，词缀与词缀的区别可以分别表征-nae 和-n't。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
