Isi artikel

Many dialects of Mixtec are described as having two negative prefixes; in Chalcatongo Mixtec these prefixes are ma- and tu-. Most descriptions claim that one is used with potential aspect, and the other with other aspects. These dialects also have a third prefix, na-, usually called a hortatory. This paper shows that, at least in Chalcatongo Mixtec, ma- and na- are actually deontic mood-marking prefixes (distinguished by polarity), while tu- is a general negator with different morphosyntactic characteristics. I survey other dialects, .finding a wide range of data, and conclude that in some cases a fresh look at these elements is called for.
