Add to ORKGIn an experimental investigation of NPIs and their licensing conditions in German, Richter & Radó (2013) showed that Weak Licensors can partially license Strong NPIs. In two experiments we investigate these results for English. In Experiment 1 we empirically identify 16 Strong and 16 Weak NPIs by examining their acceptability when licensed by sentential negation and weak adverb licensors and find results similar to German. In Experiment 2 we compare the licensing abilities of two different types of conditionals, normal, causal conditionals and rhetorical conditionals, such as `If you win, I’ll eat my hat’. We did not find statistically significant evidence for our prediction that rhetorical conditionals might be able to license strong N...
