摘要

本研究通过在以西班牙语和英语为母语的人进行的可接受性判断任务中,将西班牙语中的否定一致词(NCIs)与英语中的否定量词(NQs)和极性词(PIs)进行比较,来研究西班牙语中的否定一致词(NCIs)的语义地位。根据句法语境的不同,NCIs 表现出双重性,因此有各种分析将其归类为 NQs、PIs 或非否定不定词。本研究的结果通过实验证实,西班牙语 NCIs 的行为类似于严格的否定极性项(NPIs)或不定语,完全由句法局部反谓语运算符(即否定)许可。这种实验方法揭示了围绕西班牙语 NCI 语义特征的长期争议,有助于我们理解它们在各种语言环境中的行为。

Spanish Negative Concord Items: Experimental Evidence for Their Status as Strict Negative Polarity Items
This study investigates the semantic status of Spanish Negative Concord Items (NCIs) through their comparison with English Negative Quantifiers (NQs) and Polarity Items (PIs) in acceptability judgment tasks conducted among native speakers of Spanish and English. NCIs exhibit a dual behavior depending on their syntactic context, which has resulted in various analyses that categorize them as NQs, PIs, or non-negative indefinites. The findings from this investigation provide experimental confirmation that Spanish NCIs behave like strict Negative Polarity Items (NPIs) or indefinites that are exclusively licensed by a syntactically local anti-veridical operator (i.e., negation). This experimental approach sheds light on the longstanding controversy surrounding the semantic characterization of Spanish NCIs and contributes to our understanding of their behavior across a wide array of linguistic contexts.
