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.
