摘要
Li et al. (2018) claimed that a single negation (SN) interpretation is possible for double negation (DN) structures in Mandarin Chinese (MC) when a DN sentence has a combination of the negation operators mei(you)-mei(you) (not-not), bu-mei(you) (not-not), conglaimei/conglaibu-X (ever no-not), or mei(you)-bu (not-not), and when there is stress on the second negation operator. This discussion questions the test materials and choice of participants, calling into doubt the findings of Li et al. (2018). (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
