This paper aims at illuminating the nature of negation scope, focusing on the scope interaction between negation and other quantificational expressions. It is first observed that the surface hierarchy plays an important role in neg-QP scope determination. However, rather than taking the assumption that negation scope is determined in overt syntax, it is argued that the determination of negation scope occurs at LF and the (seeming) lack of narrow scope reading is attributed to the principle which bans a chain that contains a negative induced barrier inside at LF
