More about the book
The book offers an in-depth analysis of sentential negation within the Government and Binding framework, highlighting the similarities between negative and interrogative sentences. Haegeman introduces the AFFECT-criterion, which manifests as the WH-criterion for questions and the NEG-criterion for negation, leading to phenomena like WH-movement and NEG-movement, particularly evident in Germanic languages. The work also explores representational chains in Romance languages and discusses theoretical distinctions in syntax, making it valuable for scholars in theoretical syntax.
