Turkish neither..nor and optional negative concord
2017
Turkish is analyzed a strict negative concord language, where negative elements obligatorily co-occur with sentential negation. Neither..nor phrases show an exceptional behavior with respect to negative concord: negation on the verb appears only optionally. In this paper I show that this optionality is explained by a structural ambiguity, based on the whether the coordinated constituents contain the clausal predicate.
