3.5.1.2. Non-manual markers

The most common non-manual marker of (verbal) negation in TİD is a single backward head tilt, ‘ht-b’. It is usually accompanied by eye-brow raise. When this non-manual marker cooccurs with the free morpheme not, it spreads only over not.

ht-b

sıck^not

‘(He) is not sick.’

When it cooccurs with the cliticized not, then its scope usually covers not and the verbal stem.

ht-b

know^not

‘(I) don’t know.’

Another verbal negative form is puffed cheeks. This non-manual occurs with perfective verbs.

pc
coca-cola drınk

‘(I) didn’t drink coca-cola.’
