“…And although languages and constructions show idiosyncrasies, there are similarities. Further study should take into account more languages and tie up the current findings with work on Greek (Barouni 2019), Maltese (Čéplö & Lucas 2020), Ossetic (Erschler & Volk 2011;Erschler 2013), and Turkish (Şener & İșsever 2003;Jeretič 2018). Interestingly, the latter studies only treat the more or less exceptional presence or absence of negators patterning with CoNegs, not the presence or absence of first CoNegs.…”

This paper explores the interaction between connective negation (‘neither ... nor’) and negative concord, an issue that has not received much attention. It looks at different ‘negative concord’ languages, viz. Croatian, Spanish, and French. The approach is synchronic; the data come from existing descriptions and from native speaker judgments. The paper describes the many idiosyncrasies but also lays bare some of the similarities.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed cross-linguistic analysis of so-called emphatic negative coordination (enc). This kind of clause linkage is illustrated by neither and nor in She neither could nor would speak lightly of the accident. On the basis of a 250-language sample, the paper lays out a new typology of enc meant to gain novel insights. It is shown that languages can combine enc types, and that contact and borrowing are relevant triggers for the emergence of this sort of clause linkage. The article also reveals that there is considerable variety in the etymological sources and grammaticalization paths of enc markers.
