Negation in Ngarinyin

Ngarinyin is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Worrorran family,
 belonging to the West Kimberley region. Its morphological expression of negation is very
regular and demonstrates the close relation between negation and modality.
Following Miestamo’s (2025) typological questionnaire, the chapter sketches the basic
properties of negation in Ngarinyin within and across clause boundaries and
proposes several diachronic and semantic connections between negation markers and
(other) particles, interjections and lexical expressions.
