Mixtec negative existential cycles, standard negation and negative indefiniteness
The Aspectual Meaning of Non-Aspectual Constructions
The distinction between perfective and imperfective aspect has been identified in many languages across the world. This paper shows that even languages that do not have a dedicated perfective-imperfective distinction may endow a verbal construction that is not specifically aspectual with a perfective value. The crucial diagnostic for identifying perfectivity in a given non-aspectual construction is a difference in the temporal interpretation of c…

Guahiboan negation
The Guahiboan languages show interesting variation in the expression of standard, ascriptive, existential and prohibitive negation. We aim to account for some of the variation with reference to the general typology of negation and to familyinternal evidence. It focusses on three unusual features and thus enriches the general understanding of negation: (i) Existential negators can join standard negators, adding emphasis and eventually replace the …
The Typology of Negation
This chapter discusses a number of central phenomena in the typology of negation, building on state-of-the-art typological research. The focus lies on standard negation, prohibitive negation, existential negation, and the negation of indefinites. Cross-linguistic variation is central in the discussion, and for most phenomena the question is addressed as to what extent a certain pattern is frequent or rare. As far as it is possible, observed patte…

Negative Concord in Jamaican
This study aims to account for some dimensions of the strictness and of what will be called the ‘range’ of Negative Concord in Jamaican (also ‘Jamaican Creole’ or ‘Patwa’) and in so doing to increase our typological understanding of Negative Concord. As to the strictness, parameters will be the position of the negative indefinite relative to the verb, the pronominal vs. nominal nature of the negative indefinite, and the phonetic closeness of posi…

Zaparoan negation revisited
The paper revisits negation in the Zaparoan languages Arabela, Iquito and Záparo. For Iquito, which exhibits single, double as well as triple negation, we adopt a Jespersen Cycle perspective and find it to have explanatory force. For Záparo and Arabela another Cycle hypothesis proves enlightening, i.e., the Negative Existential Cycle. We hypothesize that both in Iquito and Záparo there is a diachronic link between the formal expression of negatio…
The Oxford Handbook of Modality and Mood
This handbook offers an in depth and comprehensive state of the art survey of the linguistic domains of modality and mood and examines the full range of methodological and theoretical approaches to the phenomena involved. Following an opening section that provides an introduction and historical background to the topic, the volume is divided into five parts. Parts 1 and 2 present the basic linguistic facts about the systems of modality and mood in…

The History of Modality and Mood
This chapter traces the current understanding of mood (or mode) and modality back in time, in the Western tradition, giving pride of place to F. R. Palmer, G. H. von Wright, I. Kant, Priscian, Quintilian, Dionysius Thrax, Apollonius Dyscolus, and Protagoras. It sketches how there were and still are at least four different notions of mood, the domain of which was progressively taken over by a notion of modality. It also sketches the tradi¬tion of …

This special issue is a very special issue. It celebrates the journal's fiftieth anniversary, and to that purpose we are reprinting five of its most important articles, one for each decade. For its sixth decade we include an article that was going to be published, in a regular fashion, but in the end never was, because the author passed away. In Section 3 these six articles are put into a wider perspective. Sections 1 and 2 describe how the journ…

Raising
As a complement to C. B. van Haeringen's classic comparative study (1956) that positioned the grammar of Dutch in between the grammars of English and German, this study compares the productivity of three kinds of “raising” patterns in these languages: Object-to-Subject, Subject-to-Object, and Subject-to-Subject raising. It establishes the extent to which Dutch, as well as English and German, have evolved from the old West Germanic starting point …
Scalar Additive Operators in the Languages of Europe
Scalar additive operators, such as Engl. even , Fr. même, Germ. sogar , Sp. aun , and so forth, vary crosslinguistically in terms of their distributional behavior, in particular with respect to semantic and pragmatic properties of the sentential environment (scale-reversing vs. scale-preserving, negative vs. nonnegative). This article proposes a semantic framework for the crosslinguistic analysis of scalar additive operators and a typology based …
Jespersen cycles in Kanincin
This article shows how successive Jespersen cycles lead to three and maybe even four sentential negative markers in the Bantu language Kanincin. Postverbal negative markers, which originally served to strengthen negation, are traced back to locative and possessive sources on the basis of language– internal and comparative data
Acquisitive modals
The paper explores the fact that ‘get’ etymons may acquire modal meanings. It tries to fit this fact into the modal map proposal of van der Auwera & Plungian (1998) and concludes that the map has to be revised, in part because the lexical input, the predicates meaning ‘get/acquire’ allow more than one reading, an agentive and a receptive one. The paper focuses on the two areas in which so-called ‘acquisitiv modality’ is very prominent, viz. North…

English do
This article surveys the debate on the origin of periphrastic do , with particular attention to the hypothesis that Celtic languages might have exerted some influence. With respect to the facts, it is argued that there are various types of Celtic hypotheses and that one type is sensible, though unlikely to be proven and even less likely to be proven to be the only relevant factor. With respect to the debate itself, it is shown that a Celtic origi…
