在许多具有 SVO 顺序的南岛语和巴布亚语言中，否定是通过否定副词的相当严格的子句结尾位置来表达的。回顾了否定的一些类型学概括，并讨论了该特征在不同语系语言中的分布，认为它很可能起源于巴布亚语言。考虑了一些针对不同类型否定的建议，例如是否是言语（或VP）运算符、成分运算符或句子运算符。讨论了确定否定范围的问题，得出的结论是，不同结构层面上的 NEG 无法确定硬性且快速的语义含义，这表明也许可以在应用一些普遍的语用原则中找到解决方案。
Negation in a number of Austronesian and Papuan languages with SVO order is expressed by a rather rigid clause-final position of the negative adverb. Some typological generalizations for negation are reviewed and the distribution of this trait in languages of different stocks is discussed, arguing that it most likely originates in Papuan languages. Some proposals for different types of negation, such as whether it is a verbal (or VP) operator, a constituent operator or a sentential operator are considered. The problem of determining the scope of negation is discussed, with the conclusion that hard and fast semantic meanings for NEG at different structural levels cannot be posited, suggesting that perhaps a solution can be found in the application of some universal pragmatic principles.
