Negative concord and the scope of universals

In this paper, I propose an analysis of Greek negative concord (NC) in terms of quantifier scope. It is shown that there is no evidence that Greek NC n-words are indefinites or negative quantifiers, NC n-words are analysed as universal quantifiers, which are sensitive to negative polarity, and which must QR-raise above negation in order to be properly interpreted. If correct, the analysis proposed here will provide a strong argument for retaining QR as a necessary device at the syntax-semantics interface
