Negative sensitive items
Whether they are universal or existential (or conjunction/disjunction)
Whether they are semantically negative or not
The interaction of negation and quantifiers
Where is negation in Turkish?
Why do some quantifiers take narrow scope w.r.t negation, while others can be interpreted below or above negation?

Does it involve rightward scrambling, or does Turkish employ some other strategy to postopose expressions?
Why Turkish RD constructions behave differently from Japanese and Korean?
