Negative  Imperatives  in  Quechua     Cuzco  Quechua  distinguishes  between  two  different  negative  heads  in  indicative  (1)   a,  b.  and  imperative  (2)  a,  b.  sentences:   (1)     a.   Mana-­‐m     waqa-­‐chka-­‐n-­‐chu.       NEG-­‐FOC.EVID   cry-­‐PROG-­‐3.S-­‐NEG.FOC       “S/he  does  not  cry.”     b.   Manam   papa-­‐ta-­‐chu     miku-­‐chka-­‐n.       NEG     potato-­‐NEG.FOC   eat.PROG-­‐3.S       “S/he  does  not  eat  POTATOES.”   (2)     a.   Ama   waqa-­‐y-­‐chu.       NEG   cry-­‐IMP-­‐NEG.FOC       “Do  not  cry.”     b.     Ama   papa-­‐ta-­‐chu     miku-­‐y.       NEG   potato-­‐NEG.FOC   eat-­‐IMP       “Do  not  eat  POTATOES.”   Previous  analyses  of  negation  in  Quechua  have  argued  that  in  (1)  –chu  is  the   syncretic  spell  out  of  an  agree  relation  between  the  Neg  (mana)  and  Focus  heads   and  the  projection  in  the  scope  of  negation  (Sánchez  2010).  In  imperatives  Agree   between  a  different  lexical  head  (ama)  and  the  constituent  in  the  scope  of  negation   is  also  spelled  out  as  -­‐chu.  In  this  paper,  I  propose  that  both  mana  and  ama  are   syncretic  morphemes  that  are  the  spell  out  of  features  in  Force  P  (Rizzi  1996)  and   the  features  of  a  Neg  head.  Mana  is  the  spell  out  of  [+declarative]  in  ForceP  and  Neg   while  ama  is  the  spell  out  of  Neg,  IMP,  and  [+addressee]  in  Speech  Act,  and  –chu  is   only  the  spell  out  of  Focus:       (3)   [Force  P    [Focus  P    [NegP  mana  [VP  ...  –chu]             (4)   [Speech  Act  [Force  P    [Focus  P    [NegP  ama                [VP  ...-­‐y  –chu]         This  analysis  posits  a  series  of  Agree  relations  that  should  be  in  principle   susceptible  to  intervention  effects.  In  fact,  the  distribution  of  the  emotive  suffixes     –má  and  –yá  (Cusihumán  1971/1996)  as  the  spell  out  of  a  left  peripheral  Evaluative   Mood  head  (Cinque  1999)  located  between  Speech  Act  and  Force  P  shows  that  in   order  to  avoid  the  blocking  effects  of  negation  these  suffixes  must  be  spelled  out  on   the  Neg  head  in  both  cases  (Sanchez  2010)  as  shown  for  ama  in  (5)  a  and  b.  This   supports  the  view  that  there  is  a  complex  interplay  of  agree  relations  in  the  left   periphery  that  must  take  place  above  NegP:      

(5)   a.   *Ama       phiña-­‐ku-­‐y-­‐ña-­‐chu-­‐yá       NEG.IMP.ADDR   upset-­‐REFL-­‐IMP-­‐DISCONT-­‐FOC-­‐EMOT       “Please  do  not  get  upset.”       (6)   b.   Ama-­‐yá       phiña-­‐ku-­‐y-­‐ña-­‐chu.       NEG.-­‐IMP.ADDR-­‐EMOT   upset-­‐REFL-­‐IMP-­‐DISCONT-­‐FOC       “Please  do  not  get  upset.”   Support  for  the  difference  between  ama  and  mana  in  terms  of  only  the  first  one   being  the  spell  out  of  a  [IMP]  feature  in  the  Speech  Act  head  is  the  fact  that,  while   both  mana  and  ama  license  negative  polarity  items  (7,  8)  only  ama  allows  for  a  free   choice  any  interpretation  that  is  possible  in  positive  imperatives  (9)  but  not  allowed   in  declaratives  (negative  (7)  or  affirmative  (10))  (Sánchez  2010):   (7)   Mana-­‐n       ima-­‐ta-­‐pas       ranti-­‐rqa-­‐ni-­‐chu.       NEG.DECL-­‐FOC.EVID  INDEF-­‐ACC-­‐ADD   but-­‐PST.ATT.1.S-­‐FOC     “I  did  not  buy  anything.”     (√NPI,    *free  choice  interpretation)   (8)   Ama       ima-­‐ta-­‐pas     apamu-­‐y-­‐chu.     NEG.IMP.ADDR   INDEF-­‐ACC-­‐ADD   bring-­‐IMP-­‐FOC     “Don’t  bring  anything.”     (√NPI,  √  free  choice  interpretation)   (9)   Ima-­‐ta-­‐pas       apamu-­‐y.     INDEF-­‐ACC-­‐ADD   bring-­‐IMP     “Bring  anything.”   (10)   *Ima-­‐ta-­‐pas     mikhu-­‐rqa-­‐ni.       INDEF-­‐ACC-­‐ADD   eat-­‐PST.ATT.1.S     “I  ate  something.”     The  difference  is  summarized  in:         Free  choice   NPI   Mana  (+NEG,  +DECL)   -­‐   +   Ama  (+NEG,  IMP,  +ADDR)   +   +     If  imatapas  is  in  the  scope  of  NEG  and  [DECL]  it  cannot  receive  a  free  choice   interpretation,  however  if  it  is  in  the  scope  of  Speech  Act  [+Addressee]  and  [IMP]  it   can  receive  either  the  Free  Choice  interpretation  licensed  by  IMP  in  Force  or  the  NPI   interpretation  licensed  by  NEG.   The  analysis  proposed  shows  a  complex  interplay  of  left  peripheral  features  that   supports  the  view  that  negative  imperatives  in  Quechua  are  what  Zeijlstra  (2006)   labels  True  Negative  Imperatives  (TNIs),  namely,  those  that  do  not  require  a  verbal   form  different  from  the  one  in  affirmative  imperatives.  In  Quechua  –y  is  the   morphological  marker  of  affirmative  and  negative  imperatives.    Zeilstra  argues  that   TNIs  arise  when  the  Imperative  operator  is  outside  the  scope  of  Neg.  In  this  case,   Imp  features  are  higher  than  Neg  features  and  ama  is  the  spell  out  of  Neg  and   imperative  features  but  it  does  not  block  imperative  concord  between  IMP  features   in  Force  head  and  –y  in  (4).  In  the  same  way  a  free  choice  interpretation  of  the   indefinite  in  (8)  arises  because  the  IMP  features  are  outside  the  scope  of  NEG.
