On the expression of negation in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish
A macroparametric division between Double Negation (DN) and Negative Concord (NC) languages has been postulated in the literature on negation.

I28-R145-8037_oai2024-03-26 Li, Feifei 2023-04-09 A macroparametric division between Double Negation (DN) and Negative Concord (NC) languages has been postulated in the literature on negation. Mandarin Chinese and Spanish have been classified as a DN and a NC language respectively. However, the interpretation of the expression of negation in NC versus DN languages is not clear-cut. This study aims to introduce and compare the interpretation of multiple negative expressions, fragment answers to negative questions and two experimental studies in these two languages. The results from the comparison show that unexpected interpretations of double negation and single negation are possible in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish respectively under certain prosodic and gestural conditions. Accordingly, it allows us to question the parametric division between DN and NC languages. En la literatura sobre la negación se ha postulado una división macroparamétrica entre las lenguas de doble negación (DN) y de concordancia negativa (NC). El chino mandarín y el español han sido clasificados como lenguas de DN y NC respectivamente. Sin embargo, la interpretación de la expresión de la negación en las lenguas de NC frente a las de DN no está clara. Este estudio propone introducir y comparar la interpretación de las expresiones de negación múltiple, las respuestas fragmentarias a preguntas negativas y dos estudios experimentales en estas dos lenguas. Los resultados de la comparación muestran que son posibles interpretaciones inesperadas de la doble negación y de la negación simple tanto en chino mandarín como en español, respectivamente, bajo ciertas condiciones prosódicas y gestuales.

This study aims to introduce and compare the interpretation of multiple negative expressions, fragment answers to negative questions and two experimental studies in these two languages. The results from the comparison show that unexpected interpretations of double negation and single negation are possible in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish respectively under certain prosodic and gestural conditions.
