We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

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, Svetoslava Antonova English Department Stockholm University svan4015student.su.se
