6. Expletive negation and related problems

Author

Ramat, Paolo

Abstract

This paper makes two main claims: the presence of two or more negative elements in Negative Concord, Negative Comparison, and Expletive Negation basically rests upon the pragmatic need of intensifying the negative import of the sentence. Secondly, the paper aims at identifying a possible path of functional expansion that may account for the use of the Expletive Negation in the constructions under scrutiny. Expletive Negation is originally tied to the core concept of inequality comparison (x is more/has more y than z, where y refers to a state, a quality or property), as well as to temporal comparison (x before y)–where the second member is implicitly negated; it may then expand to other constructions such as Negative Concord and the construction of fear verbs., Linguistic Typology at the Crossroads, Vol. 2 No. 2 (2022)

Author

Ramat, Paolo

Abstract

Argues that both language-contact factors and typological evolution can effect changes in languages and language typology over time, and that it is not always easy to understand which factor has played a more prominent role in language change. Typological, areal, and socio-historical linguistics call for interdisciplinary cooperation. Examples are offered from a variety of languages. (MSE)

22. Linguistic categories and linguists' categorizations

Author

Ramat, Paolo

Subjects
Linguistics -- Methods, Categorization (Linguistics) -- Models, Languages and linguistics
Abstract

The study of the notion of category and the methodology linguists employ to define categories results in the proposal for a three-fold organization that would subdivide categories into features, which in turn would be subdivided into values. The traditional 'parts of speech' appear to be the best functional and formal way to categorize so that words and their categories can be logically defined.
