Hi LINGUIST List subscribers,

I am a currently working on a typological project on negation at the 
University of Stockholm, Sweden. I am more specifically interested in 
the lexicalization of negation.

I was wondering if in the languages that you are familiar with if there 
are any lexical verbs that express negation in a special way (negative 
existentials and copula verbs are excluded from this). For example, in 
Bulgarian, the verb "njamam" (not.have.1SG.PRES) is also used to 
negate the future.

I am grateful for any suggestions. Thank you very much!

Best,
