I argue, based on novel judgment data from speakers of African American English (AAE), that movement plays a crucial role in establishing Long Distance Negative Concord (LDNC) and that the moving element is an instance of semantic negation (NEG). Evidence for movement in LDNC comes from its sensitivity to certain syntactic islands: LDNC is blocked across factive predicates and clauses with topicalized phrases, but is permitted across clause boundaries that allow A'-extraction. When this NC dependency is blocked, Double Negation readings emerge, providing further support for a movement-based analysis. I outline two possible accounts for these restrictions: either the Negative Concord Item (NCI) is unable to move, or NEG itself is blocked from moving. Based on split scope phenomena in LDNC environments, I argue that the NCI remains in its base position while NEG moves successive-cyclically from the embedded clause, taking scope in the matrix clause. This perspective allows for a typological distinction among NC languages that permit LDNC: some facilitate LDNC through NCI movement, while others (like AAE) do so through NEG movement.
