초록
The paper is an investigation of the form and function of the negative particle in Magahi language. The negation in Magahi is a morphological process whereby the particle ‘n-’ is placed in the pre-verbal position in an ordinary case of negating the assertion. Language has more than one variant of negative particle, but two of them are interestingly in contrastive distribution. The two variants are ‘n?’ and ‘ne’; and whenever the domain or socialconstruct demands a situation whereby referents are supposed to be given respect; particle ‘n?’ is favoured/ preferred. The linguistic harmony among the negative particles, the form of the verb and the referred noun can be seen as a case of ‘agreement’ between the subject (logical) and the negative particle. It, in point of fact, functions as emotive or affect particle, whereby, it carries the speaker’s emotion and remains in agreement with interlocutors. Initially, the agreement is seen in standard and constituent negation structure, and, further evidence of agreement is found in Tag question. It has also been argued that, it may not necessarily establish a case of agreement but indicates an affective common ground between the speaker and the addressee. In a nutshell, the paper captures and discusses its negative particle ‘n?’ other than negation characteristic in Magahi language. And, it also looks for the particular morpho-syntactic criterion for the distribution of the two variants, and ways to explain the semantic variability.
Abstract
It, in point of fact, functions as emotive or affect particle, whereby, it carries the speaker’s emotion and remains in agreement with interlocutors. Initially, the agreement is seen in standard and constituent negation structure, and, further evidence of agreement is found in Tag question. It has also been argued that, it may not necessarily establish a case of agreement but indicates an affective common ground between the speaker and the addressee. In a nutshell, the paper captures and discusses its negative particle ‘n?’ other than negation characteristic in Magahi language. And, it also looks for the particular morpho-syntactic criterion for the distribution of the two variants, and ways to explain the semantic variability.
