# Sentential Negation Across the Globe

### The fine-grained structure of a linguistic universal

The present project investigates how sentential negative markers (SNs) can be conditioned by tense, aspect, or mood/modality (TAM) and how SNs can also condition TAM. The participants of the project are [Karen De Clercq](http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en/Gens/De-Clercq) (project coordinator), [Lucie Janků](http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en/Gens/Janku) (postdoc) and [Aleksandr Sergienko](http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en/Gens/Sergienko) (PhD student). The project is funded by the ANR (ANR-22-CE28-0006 SNAG) .

The work is divided in 2 phases. Phase 1 is a typological study of the allomorphy patterns that arise in the interaction between negation and TAM, starting from Miestamo's (2005) restricted sample of 179 languages. Phase 2 focuses on a smaller sample to allow for a more fine-grained [Nanosyntactic](https://cloud.crissp.be/grav/) analysis.

A short version of the project proposal is available [here](http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/sites/llf.cnrs.fr/files/u679/preproposition_SNAG_DeClercq.pdf).

### SNAG workshop

We are organizing a [workshop](https://cloud.crissp.be/grav/snag/snag_conf) in September 2024. Please check out the call for papers!
