Zusammenfassung

Abstract. It has been repeatedly noted that negation blocks the properly interrogative reading of interrogative sentences, which either receive a rhetorical interpretation (Who has not read The Quixote?) or imply a D-linked reading of the wh-element (Which one has not read The Quixote?). This article studies cases where negation does not block the interrogative interpretation without the need for a D-linked reading. We argue that those are cases of negative events where negation corresponds to a structurally low position. We argue that this pattern of data is explained in an analysis where focus moves through the high polarity proyection, so negation competes with a displaced wh-element, unless this becomes a topic. When negation occupies a lower position, that incompatibility does not arise because focalised constitutens do not move through that projection
