Negation is expressed by one negative marker. ii. Negation is expressed by a negative marker in combination with a negative adverb or noun phrase. iii. The second element in Stage ii takes on the function of A Note on the 'I not say' Construction 93 A Note on the 'I not say' Construction Madoka Murakami Vp she stirte and nouth ne sat Havelok, 567 7 that ye not mysdoo Caxton, Reynard the Fox 108/19 Iyeiri's 2005: 69-70 Tables 2 and 3 Tables 1 and 2 here respectively demonstrate the gradual declension of the construction chronologically: A Note on the 'I not say' Construction 95

V movement can be accounted for in the unitary Infl system of any language where I is a bundle of features, without recourse to AgrP parameterization (Pollock, 1989).

The feature matrices [-Tense, +Agr] and [+Tense, -Agr] have been proposed for the subjunctive and imperative respectively; the auxiliary do can be inserted into [+Tense], while [+Agr] is a dependent case checker which must be activated by another head under adjacency. Furthermore, finite V carries [+Tense, +Agr] in English, but [+Tense, +Agr, +Mood] in old English and Greek. The claim is that Κ movement can be maintained, keeping the unitary Infl system, by counting the number of positive features.

In this paper I shall argue that not is neither a head nor a specifier of any maximal projection,... more In this paper I shall argue that not is neither a head nor a specifier of any maximal projection, but an adverbial modifier adjoining to I directly. The paper pursues this thesis from several pointsof view (VP ellipsis, HMC, I-to-C movement, and the strict adjacency of not to do/ to), before briefly examining the historical changes of not. The examined data include negative subjunctive that-clauses (Section 2) and some archaic negative sentences (Section 3). By comparing various analyses of not and looking into the history of English negation, this paper defends the adverbial status of not in I against the dominant NegP hypothesis with not in its head. With a certain strategy, this status of adjoining not does not conflict with Potsdam's (1997) argument for VP ellipsis. Furthermore, Jespersen's (1917) historical cycle of negation can be naturally captured in the NegP-less clausal structure.
