排灣語的否定結構

On Negative Constructions in Paiwan

排灣語有許多具有不同的詞彙、句法及語意行為的否定詞。本篇文章除了提出不同的詞組結構來說明這些否定成份的相同點和相異點，並對排灣語類和非排灣語類的相關否定現象做對比分析。

Paiwan has various kinds of negative elements; they exhibit very different morphological, syntactic and semantic behavior. It is shown in this paper that these negative elements are of different types of projections, each of which is lexically specified for distinct c-selection, m-selection and grammatical features. The surface variations in negative constructions between Paiwan and certain other languages are claimed to be derived from these lexical properties in combination with the general principles of universal grammar.
