In LIS, a negative element may affect the meaning of two verbs in coordinated conjuncts only if they share the same subject. In the example below, the negative sign neg_o negates the verb of both conjuncts. This suggests that what is coordinated in the sentence below is not two clauses, but two verb phrases.
neg
gabriele car clean_up wedding go neg_o
‘Gabriele did not clean the car and did not go to the wedding.’
