This series of monographs delves into the diverse sub-disciplines of theoretical linguistics. Each book presents original research that pushes the boundaries of current linguistic thought. It explores key theoretical sub-disciplines such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. With an emphasis on novel data and their challenges to linguistic theorizing, the volumes are written accessibly for a broad audience.

This book studies the micro-variation in the syntax of negation of Southern Levantine, Gulf and Standard Arabic. By including new and recently published data that support key issues for the syntax of negation, the book challenges the standard parametric view that negation has a fixed parametrized position in syntactic structure.
