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

<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>

no syntactician, so forgive me for stating the
obvious, but I would imagine that the explanation for
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>
