In a previous post here, I talked about the negative fronting construction. The following two (sexist!) examples show that in the texts a positive contrast with the particle ro' often seems to be paired with a corresponding negative contrast:
Another interesting note -- previously, I was aware that negative fronting involved the following pattern:
Nuveé {NP|PP} [S...] "It is not {NP|PP} that ...."
I can now add CP to the list of fronted elements, due to examples like the following:
1 Cor 4:14 |
1 Cor 7:35 |
So the revised constructional template for negative fronting is
Nuveé {NP|PP|CP} [S...] "It is not {NP|PP|CP} that ...."
