Reinforcing Negation: the case of Italian

چکیده
Italian negation displays a well-known contrast between preverbal and post-verbal n-words: while the preverbal adverb non does not co-occur with preverbal n-words with single negation reading (SN), it is obligatory with post-verbal ones. The two negations co-occur in (1c) with a double negation reading (DN), where non is (preferably) stressed. (1)a. Nessuno viene / *Nessuno non viene (Nobody is coming, ) b. *Paolo vede nessuno / Paolo non vede nessuno (Paolo does not see anybody) c. Nessuno non viene (Nobody is not coming, DN)
