In this contribution we focus on sentential negation adverbs in Piedmontese varieties. The standard approach to negation in Romance was inaugurated by Pollock (1989) who proposed that negation adverbs such as pas in French fill the Spec position of a NegP projection generated below the I position targeted by the verb. The head of NegP can in turn be filled by a negative clitic like ne in French, whose higher inflectional position depends on movement, i.e. cliticization. In other languages, which include colloquial French, no negative head is present.

Abstract

In this contribution we focus on sentential negation adverbs in Piedmontese varieties. The standard approach to negation in Romance was inaugurated by Pollock (1989) who proposed that negation adverbs such as pas in French fill the Spec position of a NegP projection generated below the I position targeted by the verb. The head of NegP can in turn be filled by a negative clitic like ne in French, whose higher inflectional position depends on movement, i.e. cliticization. In other languages, which include colloquial French, no negative head is present.
