Russian Negation Fragment #

@cite{miestamo-2005} @cite{haspelmath-2013} @cite{dryer-haspelmath-2013}

Russian expresses standard negation with the preverbal particle не (ne). Negation is symmetric: adding не introduces no structural changes — no finiteness change, no TAM restrictions, no paradigmatic gaps.

Negative concord (Ch 115) #

Russian has obligatory negative concord (WALS: co-occur):

N-words of the ни- series always co-occur with predicate negation не. The lexical-reactive side — никто, ничего, никогда, кто-либо, etc. — lives in Fragments/Russian/PolarityItems.lean per the operator/lexical- reactive split documented in Core/Lexical/NegMarker.lean. The NegConcordExample data below illustrates the marker's NC behavior at the sentence level, which is operator-side typology consumed by Phenomena/Negation/Studies/Miestamo2005.lean.

не — Russian's standard preverbal negation particle. A free word, syntactically immediately preverbal.
