“Register plays no role in the following Spanish construction”, dijo nadie nunca
Using a corpus of Spanish tweets, this study offers an analysis of the [ dijo nadie nunca ] construction, an expression of ironic negation. This paper defends the argument that the [ dijo nadie nunca ] construction is modeled upon the English ‘said no one ever’, and has been adapted in Spanish through a remote language contact situation. Specifically, this study demonstrates that there is a register effect at play that shapes the linguistic outco…
A diachronic analysis of Spanish alg - series and n- series items in negated clauses
While previous studies have analyzed the changing nature of polarity items (PIs) in Latin (see Gianollo 2018 , 2020 ) and the licensing conditions of PIs in modern languages (see Homer 2021 ), less research has analyzed the diachronic behavior of PIs in the development of the Spanish language. The present study takes a quantitative approach to historical corpus data in showing that in older varieties of Spanish, there was an increased degree of c…
Processing polarity sensitivity in L2 Spanish
Recent studies in the second language acquisition of negation have focused on polarity items and their licensing contexts. Although several studies show a correlation between higher degrees of second language (L2) proficiency and the acquisition of the target L2 structures, less attention has been given to the relation between the acquisition of polarity sensitivity and different types of lexical polarity items. This study addresses this gap in t…

Research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has studied negation in a wide variety of languages but has mainly focused on the acquisition of clause negation, or the negation of finite verbs in main clauses (Dimroth, Christine. 2008. Age effects on the process of L2 acquisition? Evidence from the acquisition of negation and finiteness in L2 German. Language Learning 58(1). 117–150). The present study discusses the acquisition of negative concord…
