Imbabura Quechua Negation Fragment #

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

Imbabura Quechua expresses standard negation with the preverbal particle mana, optionally reinforced by the suffix -chu on the verb.

SymAsy: Symmetric and Asymmetric (A/NonReal) #

WALS classifies Imbabura Quechua as both symmetric and asymmetric:

The A/NonReal asymmetry is paradigmatic: the negative paradigm obligatorily includes a validator category (-chu) that the affirmative lacks. The clause structure itself does not change (no constructional asymmetry).

The standard negation particle.

    The validator enclitic triggered in negative (and interrogative) contexts. Glossed as VAL (validator); shared with polar questions.

      An Imbabura Quechua negation example.

      • affirmative : String
      • negative : String
      • glossAff : String
      • glossNeg : String
      • requiresChu : Bool

        Does this construction require -chu?

      • symmetric : Bool

        Is this construction symmetric?

            Simple present: asymmetric (requires -chu, A/NonReal).

              Progressive: symmetric (mana alone suffices).

                  Verification #

                  Mixed: some symmetric, some asymmetric = SymAsy.

                  Asymmetric constructions are exactly those requiring -chu.
