1.5.1. Manual marking of negation

In LIS, negative particles, n-words and irregular negatives are used to express negation (MORPHOLOGY 3.5). An example of negative particles is shown below.

 

         daniele eat not

         โ€˜Daniele does not eat.โ€™

 

Below we can find an example of a n-word.

 

         daniele eat nothing

         โ€˜Daniele does not eat anything.โ€™

 

Finally, we report an example of an irregular negative.

 

         daniele sport like.not

         โ€˜Daniele does not like sports.โ€™
