    Hebrew and Indonesian are two languages which have constructions of
    the form NEG V OR V, ie. like the ungrammatical Russian (2), without

        <div>Sure, I also consider that the reason for English is the
          presence of the auxiliary. </div>
        <div>However, what I want is to try to think of it a bit
          broader: is it true that an English-like situation is never
          observed in languages without an auxiliary? If yes, what does
          it tell us of the negation syntax? If no, what is the
          difference between Russian and some other languages where
          negation can be expressed once?</div>

                  the English state of affairs is the auxiliary, which
                  hosts the negation. Since auxiliaries in English can
                  have multiple complements, you can get away with one
                  auxiliary, hence one negation.</span></p>
