Kandybowicz établit que la paritule ni: en nupe est une particule de focus:
"ni: patterns like the focus marker o; it occupies a high position in the left periphery, appears clause finally, and follows negation [...]. Additionally, ni: sentences have polarity focus interpretations, making them amenable to analysis in terms of Foc°. Furthermore, the morphemes ni: and o stand in complementary distribution, as seen below."
(24) | a. | * | Musa | ba | nakàn | ni: | o. | |||||||
Musa | cut | meat | ni | FOC | ||||||||||
'Musa actually cut the meat.' | b. | * | Musa | ba | nakàn | o | ni:. | |||||||
Musa | cut | meat | FOC | ni |
Or, cette particule de focus ni:, contrairement à la particule bez en breton, est compatible avec la négation:
"[...] the morpheme ni:, whose semantic contribution is to reinforce the polarity of the clause/add emphasis to the asserted truth or falsity of the sentence. The distribution of ni: is similar to the distribution of negation; both appear clause-finally."
(22) | Musa | ba | nakàn | ni:. |
Musa | cut | meat | ni | |
'Musa actually cut the meat.' |
"[...] ni: and negation are able to co-occur, suggesting that they do not compete for the same syntactic position. That is, the two morphemes are not in complementary distribution, as shown below:"
(23) | Musa | ba | nakàn | à | ni:. |
Musa | cut | meat | NEG | ni | |
'Musa did not actually cut the meat.' |
