In this book Liliane Haegeman presents an account of sentential negation within a Government and Binding framework demonstrating the parallelism between negative sentences and interrogative sentences, and giving a unified analysis in terms of a well-formedness condition on syntactic representations: the AFFECT-criterion, instantiated as the WH-criterion in interrogative sentences and as the NEG-criterion in negative sentences.
