A verb stem inflected with the immediate future cannot be negated. A non-realized negated event instead requires the irrealis marker. Another peculiarity of the immediate future is that a speaker requires epistemic authority to predict the immediate occurrence
of an event encoded by the immediate future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Eitan Grossman and I are writing a paper about newly-grammaticalized future markers that are banned from negative contexts, which results in paradigmatic asymmetry where certain grammatical distinctions (e.g., remoteness) are absent in the negative.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
We are currently aware of a handful of such cases (Tigre, Coptic, Palestinian Arabic, Quebec French, Tok Pisin), and we’d be happy to know if anyone knows of other relevant cases.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Also, Bybee et al. (1994: 271) make the tentative claim that novel future constructions are often immediate futures: “[…] we interpreted primary future grams with immediate future as a use as younger than grams whose future use was simple future; that is, we
were in effect suggesting that, for primary futures, the use immediate future is diagnostic of a simple future at an earlier stage of its development. Although we are not aware of strong historical evidence attesting the generalization of an immediate future
to a general future gram (but see Fleischman 1983 for a claim that this occurs), there are both formal and semantic indications of the youth of immediate futures.”<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Does anyone know of a more recent study that tried to test this hypothesis?<br>
<br>
