Abstract
- Highlights: [•] The paper argues that sentential negativity is a graded notion. [•] The argument is based on a new experimental tool to diagnose negativity. [•] This experimental tool involves the formation of tag questions. [•] Both semantic and syntactic factors influence the negativity of a sentence. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
