Abstract
This study concentrates on the area of negation, which has not been yet researched to a great extent in Ainu, from a typological point of view. Negation does not merely present the truth value of an assertion but has various pragmatic meanings depending on the context. This study makes use of Miestamo’s (2016) method for describing the negation system of a language, in an attempt to give a general description of negation in Ainu. Special attention will also be given to constructions that syntactically are negative but pragmatically not so, which earlier research and grammars of Ainu mostly have ignored. This paper tries to give a more concise description of negation in Ainu. Furthermore, in order to study negation in Ainu, a variety of genres of texts were analysed. As this study provides a generalization of syntactic negation in Ainu, it also points out aspects of negation which require further investigation.
