The first eight English NPIs have been integrated into the NPI Bank, with 10 licensers and a total number of 371 corpus examples. More English data will hopefully be available soon.

Since its official lauch on December 2, 2025, the NPI Bank has made information on roughly 250 German NPIs and about 80 Romanian NPIs available via a web interface.

The NPI Bank is still under development. It is part of the work of the project B05 “Negative Polarity Items in non-negative contexts” of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1629 Negation in Language and Beyond.
