This paper discusses the interplay of linear word order, negation, and prosody and its implication for negation scope via two Swabian negation particles ed and edda which correspond to the Standard German negation particle nicht (‘not’). By means of a corpus study of spoken Swabian from the 60s, the paper offers an insight into the analysis of negation from the perspective of several grammar modules, and into the distribution of Standard German nicht via the comparison to the use of two different Swabian negation participles.
