CONCORD
CONCORD
Concord is AGREEMENT between two sentence elements with respect to certain grammatical features. Officially: CONCORD (sometimes termed AGREEMENT) is the relationship between TWO GRAMMATICAL UNITS such that one of them DISPLAYS A PARTICULAR FEATURE (e.g. plurality) that ACCORDS WITH A DISPLAYED (or semantically implicit) FEATURE in the other unit.
There are several types of concord.

BASIC INFORMATION
NEGATION
GENERAL TYPES OF NEGATION
• CLAUSE NEGATION – the whole clause is syntactically treated as negative:– She’s not an attractive woman in any respect(, is she?)
• LOCAL NEGATION – one constituent (but not necessarily a clause element) is negated:– She’s a not unattractive woman in some ways. (NOT: in any respect)
• PREDICATION NEGATION – very rare, applies only after certain auxiliaries (often depends on pronunciation):– They may not go swimming. [=They are allowed not to go swimming]
NEGATION IS REALIZED THROUGH USE OF NEGATIVE ITEMS.
NEGATION via NEGATIVE ITEMS• The clause can be negated:– EITHER BY NEGATING THE VERB, – OR BY NEGATING OTHER SENTENCE ELEMENTS.
• Depending on what sentence element is being negated, it is necessary to use different negative items:– VERB NEGATION: the negative particle NOT is always used: He
does not dring. She is not a model wife.– NEGATION OF OTHER SENTENCE ELEMENTS can be achieved
using DIFFERENT NEGATIVE ITEMS:• Words negative in form and meaning: no, none, never, not• Word negative in meaning only (not negative in form): rarely, seldom,
scarcely, barely, little, few• VERBS, ADJECTIVE, PREPOSTIONS with IMPLIED NEGATIVE MEANING:
refuse, deny, fail; reluctant, unaware; without, against; unless
NEGATION: SCOPE OF NEGATION• The SCOPE OF NEGATION is the stretch of language
OVER WHICH THE NEGATIVE MEANING OPERATES AND WHERE NON-ASSERTIVE ITEMS MUST BE USED.
• The SCOPE OF NEGATION EXTENDS FROM THE NEGATIVE ITEM TO:– THE END OF THE CLAUSE (NOT NECESSARILY THE END OF
THE SENTENCE),– THE END OF THE NEGATED PHRASE (IF ONLY A SINGLE
PHRASE IS NEGATED), OR– THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL ADJUNCT.
• WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL?
The POSITION OF THE NEGATIVE ITEM may drastically INFLUENCE THE MEANING OF THE WHOLE
SENTENCE:
SCOPE OF NEGATION
• She definitely didn’t speak to him.= It is definite that she didn’t speak to him.
• She didn’t definitely speak to him.= It is not definite that she spoke to him.
