This chapter focuses on some relevant diachronic processes that involve sentential negation and on the most relevant diachronic developments that characterize negation in natural languages. We provide linguistic evidence showing that negative markers are involved in upward movements of negative expressions from an inside position within the sentential structure to its left-periphery; alternatively, they are base-generated in an outside position.

This study focuses on the interaction between prosody and syntax in the interpretation of single negation and Double Negation in two Negative Concord languages, namely Catalan and Spanish. By means of two perception experiments, we investigate the role of two major formal conditions in the interpretation of Double Negation in Catalan and Spanish answers to negative wh-questions: (a) their intonation; and (b) their syntactic structure, which contain n-words such as Catalan ningú 'nobody' or Spanish nada 'nothing'.
