This paper explores the distribution of Free Choice Items (FCI) and Negative Polarity Items (NPI) in Malagasy. Both FCIs and NPIs in Malagasy are syntactically complex: they are expressed by disjunctions of wh-words. It is shown that this morphosyntactic structure directly reflects their semantics. In other words, FCIs and NPIs are semantically as well as syntactically disjunctive. Moreover, th...

One of the goals of the LASSY STEVIN project (Large Scale Syntactic Annotation of written Dutch) is a syntactically annotated (manually verified) corpus of 1 million words.
