Abstract:This paper aims to support the hypothesis that N-words in NC languages are NQs (and not NPIs) and to account for the double reading (one with NC and the other with DN) that an N-word as a fragment answer to a negative question generates in Romanian. We show that negative fragment answers are not instances of ellipsis and we argue that Romanian makes use of two NMs: one with negative force, which occurs independently of N-words, and the other without negative content, which is triggered by the presence of N-words in NC constructions.
