巴布亚新几内亚的阿梅莱语（Amele language）是在巴布亚新几内亚使用的许多跨新几内亚语言之一。Amele有一个否定词“qee”（“q”代表一个浊的背唇软腭塞音），它跟在被否定的元素后面。然而，虽然有动词变化的人和数字，Amele没有消极的变化在现在时态。在类型学上，其他一些语言，例如芬兰语，也表现出动词的否定变化，但这些否定的行为以有趣的方式不同。本文通过对阿梅尔语（巴布亚新几内亚语）和芬兰语（芬兰乌拉尔语）的否定词和否定动词变化形式的对比研究，考察了两种语言的否定语法，并阐明了它们的形态特征。因此，本研究描述了Amele的和芬兰的积极的，消极的和现在/过去的区别，通过他们的动词形态，并通过他们的功能标记在过去时态，最终观察这些功能点的语言。
The Amele language of Papua New Guinea is one of many Trans-New Guinea languages spoken in Papua New Guinea. Amele has a negator ‘qee’ (‘q’ represents a voiced dorso-labiovelar plosive), which follows the element negated. Yet, while having verb conjugations for persons and numbers, Amele has no negative conjugation in the present tense. Typologically, some other languages, for example, Finnish, also exhibit negative conjugations of verbs, but these behaviors of the negations differ in interesting ways. This contrastive study investigates the negation of grammars in Amele (Papua New Guinea) and Finnish (Finland, Uralic), by comparing negative particles and negative verb conjugations in both of these languages, while clarifying their morphological behaviors. As such, the study describes Amele’s and Finnish’s positive-negative and present/past distinctions through their verbal morphologies and through their functional markedness in past tenses, ultimately observing these functional points in the languages.
