Considerable syntactic evidence from English has been presented in the literature for a rule of NEG-Raising. It is shown here that equivalent or analogous evidence exists in French (time-adverbials, tags, corrective responses, negative particles and polarity items, mood). NEG-Raising and its domain are then reconsidered from a functional perspective, whereby the transformation is shown to be a HEDGING device—operating only in sentences containing a type of pseudo-performative, which also has the function of hedging. Such an analysis not only is supported by the original data, but also automatically accounts for otherwise inexplicable and unrelated syntactic facts
