Abstract EN
This paper presents an analysis of the rise of do support and the gradual loss of verb movement during the period of Early Modern English.
The analysis focuses on studying the structures in which do support was first used as an alternative to verb raising to I.
It takes into consideration the analysis of the relationship between the position of the negation marker not in negative interrogative structures and the position of the subject and the object pronouns in these structures.
The analysed structures are negative interrogatives taken from Shakespeare’s works in the period of Early Modern English.
The results of the data analysis show that in most cases, there is do support when the subject pronouns are above negation, while there is no do support when object pronouns appear above negation.
This suggests that do was first inserted here to avoid object raising with the verb to I or to C to avoid putting object and subject pronouns in subsequent positions.
