Nali ‘where’ and how to derive its negation meaning
This study examines the “negation meaning” of the locational wh-expression nali ‘where’ in Mandarin. Some previous studies have proposed that nali contains formal elements directly responsible for this negation meaning. This paper argues against that view. In its “adversative” uses, nali not only conveys negation but can also express challenge or questioning. Moreover, the salience of the negation interpretation of nali is affected by the meaning…
Multiple-modal constructions in Mandarin Chinese and their finiteness properties
This work examines multiple-modal constructions in Mandarin Chinese. It is shown that modals in Mandarin Chinese are ordered in specific ways, and, while a number of factors contribute to the determination of the hierarchical order of modals, the finiteness of the complement clauses that the modals take plays a particularly important role. A generalization proposed in this paper is that (i) if a modal takes a finite clause as complement, then the…
