| Abstract | ||
| This paper calls for the necessity for treating and incorporating the constructions ‘far from’ in English and /ba?īdun ?an/ in Arabic as negative markers of the same quality as that of no, not, never, mā, lā, laysa, …etc. It presents sufficient evidence to the effect that these forms do share the same semantic denotation with the other negative markers of both languages as well as having some of the syntactic qualifications and properties that qualify an item to be considered as a negator. | ||
