| Abstract: | Negative imperatives in Romance languages are expressed in different ways, but variation seems to be controlled by the distinction between ‘true’ and ‘surrogate’ imperatives. In this paper I attempt to formulate a hypothesis which accounts for the nature of this distinction. The structure of the paper is the following. In the first section I present relevant data, then I describe three attempts that cope with this issue and I give a critical evaluation of these attempts; in the last section I propose my own hypothesis. |
