For Thursday 2/4, please read the following paper, which can be downloaded from the “Readings” section of this website (PDF format):

Potsdam, Eric. 1997. NegP and subjunctive complements in English. Linguistic Inquiry 28: 533-541.

The Potsdam paper provides an empirical argument for the syntactic structure of the English clause/standard negation that we will develop in next week’s lectures.
