The Structure of Events and Genitive of Negation with Measure Adverbials in Russian

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

I study measure adverbials in Russian whose case marking is affected by the presence of negation. While in affirmative clauses they are obligatorily marked with the accusative, in the presence of negation the case marking can change to genitive. I describe semantic conditions that license such change. I show that these conditions are related to the event structure and the scope of negation.
