"text": "[ Imp-Op] 3.1 Alternative 1: Short negation requires tense? Zanuttini (1991 Zanuttini ( , 1994 Zanuttini ( , 1997 distinguishes between preverbal negation and postverbal negation in Romance, and argues that preverbal negation requires TP, whereas postverbal negation doesn't. 7 We can adopt Zanuttini's system to explain why Korean negative imperatives cannot be formed with short negation, if we can claim that Korean imperatives are tenseless, and that short negation requires tense phrase. While it is reasonable to assume that Korean imperatives are tenseless, it is not correct to claim that short negation requires tense phrase. Negative infinitivals can be formed with short negation as in (8). 8Inho-ka, hakkyoey an ka-ki-lul pala-n-ta. They argue that in Spanish, Modern Greek and Italian, the root C\u00b0 hosts a strong imperative mood feature that must be checked by the verb before Spell-out. In imperatives, however, Neg\u00b0b locks imperative verb movement to C\u00b0, and so negative imperatives are unavailable in Modern Greek, Spanish and Italian. On the other hand, in Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian, the strong imperative mood feature is located in I\u00b0, rather than in C\u00b0. This means that the imperative verb moves only up to I\u00b0. Since imperative verbs do not cross Neg\u00b0, negative imperatives are available in these languages. As noted in (Han, 2000; Han, In Press) , a drawback of Rivero and Terzi's analysis is that it neglects that in Modern Greek, Spanish and Italian, the morphosyntax of negation is similar to that of clitics. In negative sentences, negation always immediately precedes the main verb, and nothing can intervene between negation and the verb. Negation is very closely associated with the verb, and it is treated as a unit with the verb in overt syntax. If a verb moves to a position higher in the clause in a certain construction, we expect the verb and the negation to move as a unit in the negative counterpart. For instance, in Italian Aux-to-Comp constructions (Rizzi, 1982; Cinque, 1999) , where a participle or an infinitive inverts around a subject as in (10a), negation and the verb move to C\u00b0 as a unit, in the negative counterpart, as in (10b). Given this fact, it is not surprising that the verb cannot move across Neg\u00b0 in negative imperatives in languages with clitic-like negation. The real puzzle is why the verb cannot move with Neg\u00b0i n negative imperatives. In order to adopt Rivero and Terzi's system, we must show that in Korean, the imperative verb moves to C\u00b0, and that short negation is a blocker for this movement. It is difficult to show that there is verb movement in Korean because Korean is a verb final language. This means that if there were verb movement at all, it would be a string-vacuous movement. Even if we assume that there is verb movement in Korean, for the sake of argument, it is difficult to establish that short negation blocks verb movement. Short negation shows morphosyntactic properties similar to Romance clitic-like negation, in that it must occur immediately before the main verb. So, it is reasonable to assume that if the verb moved, short negation would move along with it. To capture this tight relationship between short negation and the verb, some have argued that short negation is like a prefixal particle on the verb (Han, 1987; No, 1988; Kim, 2000b) .",

"text": "To account for why some languages do not allow negative imperatives, (Han, 2000; Han, In Press) builds on the intuition that the illocutionary force contributed by the imperative mood cannot be negated. That is, negative imperatives have only the reading in which the directive force has scope over negation, never one which negation has scope over the directive force. This point is illustrated in (11). 11 1973) . Similar idea was observed in Lee (1973 Lee ( , 1978 . Pursuing this idea further, with the assumption that languages have an imperative operator in C\u00b0 that canonically contributes illocutionary force, Han argues that some languages like Modern Greek, Spanish and Italian do not allow negative imperatives because when imperative verb moves to C\u00b0, it would take along negation with it. But if it did, negation would end up negating the imperative operator in C\u00b0, resulting in incoherent interpretation where illocutionary force encoded in the imperative operator is negated.",

If we use declaratives to test where short negation is, it looks like it is low in the clause, in comparison to long negation (Lee 2000) . Examples in (12) show that sentences with long negation and a disjunctive phrase only allow a reading in which negation takes scope over the disjunction (De Morgan's law), whereas sentences with short negation allow the reading in which negation takes scope over the disjunction and the reading in which disjunction takes scope over negation. Moreover, in (13), while a conjunctive sentence with long negation allows the reading in which negation negates the first and the second conjuncts, a sentence with short negation does not allow this reading. Given that short negation is not high in the clause, not even as high as long negation, Han's analysis has nothing to say about why Korean negative imperatives cannot be formed with short negation.",

That is, in negative imperatives, once all the movements have taken place, M\u00b0 . will dominate a feature bundle that contains a feature for negation, and a feature for deontic modality. In the morphological component, the vocabulary item that matches the most number of features is inserted under a syntactic node.

"text": "We can now turn to the question of why short negation is impossible in negative imperatives. One possible approach is to stipulate that negative sentences containing mal projects MoodP of deontic modality, while those containing long form ani or short form an do not. 1 And since imperatives require a projection of deontic modality, they must form negation with mal. However, if negative imperatives must project MoodP of deontic modality, so should affirmative imperatives. But then clearly, they can do so without the presence of mal. This means that projection of deontic modality in imperatives is independent from the lexical form of negation. Long negation ani can be ruled out in negative imperatives by Blocking Principle as sketched in section 4.2, but the same mechanism cannot be applied to rule out short negation an.",

"text": "The starting point of our analysis is the meaning of imperatives, which we argue can be spelled out as I direct you to bring about a state or an event. And a negative imperative means I direct you to not bring about a state or an event. Assuming the clause structure in (6) for imperatives, we argue that the imperative operator is responsible for contributing I order you part, and the deontic modality is responsible for contributing to bring about part. The imperative operator takes the widest scope, taking scope over the deontic modality, which in turn takes scope over the propositional content contributed by the clause. For instance, the propositional content of the affirmative imperative in (17a) is as in (17b). Its logical form can be represented as in (17c), and its meaning can be spelled out as in (17c). As for negative imperatives, assuming a clause structure as in 14and that long negation ends up in M\u00b0, and assuming that mal is a lexicalization of 'long negation + deontic modality', we propose that mal maps onto the interpretation where deontic modality is negated. That is, long negation occurs high enough in the clause so that it can negate the component contributing to bring about, resulting in the interpretation to not bring about a state or an event. This will give us the interpretation of negative imperatives as spelled out in (18). Short negation on the other hand is lower in the clause, lower than the projection of deontic modality. We propose that this has effect on meaning. That is, if a negative imperative were to be formed with short negation, then short negation would not be able to negate the part contributing to bring about. It would only negate the state or the event contributed by the propositional content. An imperative with short negation then would result in the interpretation I order you to bring about a negative state or a negative event. But this is incoherent and so negative imperatives with short negation are ruled out. An illustration is given in (19). 4.4 Acquisition data (Lee, 1988) points out that young kids sometimes produce negative imperatives with short negation, providing the following naturally-occurring sentence as an example. 20an Ica! Neg g\u00f2 Don't go!'",

(Park, 1998) shows that 3 year-olds in general do not produce long negation only producing short negation, whereas 5 year-olds can produce both short and long negation. Park shows that while 3 year-olds used short negation when repeating after an adult sentence with long negation, 5 year-olds used long negation in the same situation.",

It looks like kids who have not yet acquired long negation are using short negation in imperatives to express negative commands. It may be that kids who have not yet acquired long negation associate wider range of interpretational possibilities with short negation, hence allowing short negation in negative imperatives. Exactly what mechanism allows this remains as a question.",

"text": "To conclude, we have argued that imperatives project a projection of deontic modality and a projection of the imperative operator contributing the illocutionary force. Assuming this clause structure, we proposed that mal in negative imperatives is a lexicalization of long form negation and deontic modality. Assuming further that long and short negation occur in two different positions in the clause structure, we proposed that a negative imperative with short negation ends up with an interpretation in which the event or the state contributed by the propositional content is negated, resulting in an incoherent interpretation. No such problem occurs with mal because mal is a lexicalization of long negation, which negates the deontic modality. Given the proposed analysis, the incompatibility of short negation and imperatives in Korean is another case that shows that the set of available syntactic structures in a language is restricted by the semantics. In future work, we would like to explore the feasibility of extending our analysis to other languages that do not allow negative imperatives, such as Italian, Spanish, and Modern Greek.",
