Most of the generalizations have been given in (3.2.2.4.1.).
Here we show how rules operate on positive sentences to derive negative
sentences. The form men is inserted to derive the negative sentence when we have
sentence meeting the following conditions
|
| NP X Y Vbr + Fut + in ® |
| NP X Y Vbr + Fut + men |
|
(I) NP is either second or third person; (ii) X and Y may be
null or nonnull.
