Toosarvandani 2012 presents a cogent alternative to Johnson 2009, following Coppock 2001, based on Toosarvandani 2011’s analysis of constituent negation.1 On this analysis, low gapping involves movement of remnants out of and ellipsis of a predicate node. This makes the right predictions in combination with corrective but; as Toosarvandani 2011 shows, corrective but requires negation in the fir...

Abstract This paper examines expletive negation in root clauses (surprise sentences and wh-exclamatives) Hungarian. We argue that Hungarian has three distinct positions, each corresponding to a truth-reversal operation on different level. When the negator nem ‘no’ is merged CP layer (in head position of Speaker Deixis Phrase), this yields surprise sentences, at level presuppositions (expletive ...

This article aims at investigating some diachronic aspects of the Italian negative system, considering a time span ranging from Old Latin to Modern Italian. Most polarity phenomena populating system are consequences crucial change that occurred in Latin: The morpheme nōn (“not”), which initially displayed maximal projection status, and became syntactic (negative) head. caused shift double negat...

It has been recognized that mandibular movements evoke head movements during jaw tapping. However there have been only a few studies that investigated the aspects of head movements during mastication. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the hypothesis that the head moves actively in mastication in order to achieve effective destruction of a food bolus. Head and mandibular movements d...

abstract background and aim: considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. in the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. mater...

Abstract The study claims that contemporary Udmurt has two main strategies for expressing a ‘constituent negation reading’. Standard makes use of inverse-scope constructions involving sentential negation, i.e. morphosyntactically negated predicate and pragmatic focus in the scope negation. other strategy involves negator ńe borrowed from Russian, which immediately precedes constituent combines ...

What kinds of processing mechanisms determine the forms of spoken sentences? Three experiments (N 1⁄4 176) measured whether the mention of an optional that in a sentence-complement structure (‘‘The mechanic mentioned (that) the car could use a tune-up’’) can be primed by the prior production of a sentence that included a lexically or a lexically and syntactically similar that, using a recall-ba...
