Negative indefinites [electronic resource] / Doris Penka. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2011. 1 online resource (xii, 264 p.) : ill. Oxford studies in theoretical linguistics ; 32 Doris Penka delivers a unified analysis of the semantics and syntax of negative indefinites - as in the expressions nobody nothing, never and nowhere - and their counterparts in other languages. Contrary to standard assumptions, the author argues that these expressions are not inherently negative and are only licensed by a covert negation. Description based on print version record.
