This paper deals with negation in Guadeloupean Creole. We present the diversity of uses of negation in GC and detail the constraints on negative concord. We show that the different n-words exhibit a non-homogeneous behavior. Our analyses are couched in the Tree-Adjoining Grammar framework.
Keywords: Guadeloupean Creole, negative concord, Tree-Adjoining Grammar, XMG metagrammar
