The role of focus enclitic in the syntax of negation in Bodo

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

The paper talks about the types of negation and NPI-related phenomena in Boro. The post-verbal negative marks the sentential negation, and is projected below TP and above vP (in the verbal complex), whereas the post-nominal negative marks constituent negation, and is projected below DP and above nP (in the nominal complex) in the functional layer. I observed three kinds of NPIs in Boro: classifier, quantifier, and adverbial. All NPIs require the obligatory presence of overt negation both in local and non-local (long-distance) licensing.
