Dryer. 330 $aCrosslinguistically, SVO languages most commonly place negative particles before the verb, employing SNegVO order. This paper documents an area in central Africa which deviates from this pattern, in which the negative follows the verb, typically occurring at the end of the clause, in SVONeg order. The languages in which this order is found do not form a natural class genetically, since they belong to three different families: Niger-Congo (including Adamawa-Ubangian, Platoid, northern Bantoid among others), Nilo-Saharan (especially Bongo-Bagirmi, but also Kresh and a few other groups), and Afro-Asiatic (specifically Chadic, but found widely throughout Chadic). The area stretches from Nigeria across to the Central African Republic and down into the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo. 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vv. 87. 606 $aAfrican languages$zAfrica, West$xNegatives 607 $aAfrica, West$xLanguages$xNegatives 615 0$aAfrican languages$xNegatives. 676 $a496 686 $a18.92$2bcl 701 $aCyffer$b Norbert$0657577 701 $aEbermann$b Erwin$f1953-$01629936 701 $aZiegelmeyer$b Georg$0783887 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818397003321 996 $aNegation patterns in West African languages and beyond$93967964 997 $aUNINA
