Abstract

In this contribution we propose that the meaning of ne ... quidem can be derived compositionally from the meaning of its parts, but that this requires reconsidering some hitherto unexplained uses of bare (positive) quidem. In turn, this reconsideration uncovers an important diachronic correlation between some positive uses and the negative ones.
