Abstract
- The paper focuses on the construction en niemand niet 'not anyone' (literally 'not no one not'), available in East Flemish dialects and finds it to be unaccounted for in current typological work about negation. We spell out in some detail how predicate negators like not and quantifier negators like noone interact and develop. Within this hypothesis en niemand niet will be analyzed as an intermediate stage. From the point of view of dialect geography, en niemand niet is also an intermediate form. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
