This paper is a survey of the forms and functions of negation in various Berber
languages covering a vast area in West Africa (Kabyle (Taqbaylit), Rifan (Tarifit),
Shilha (Tashelhiyt), Tuareg (Tahaggart, Tayirt), Zenaga). It shows that negation in
Berber is characterized by non-verbal predicates which encode the distinction between
locative-existential and identificational-qualificational, as well as by clear-cut
aspectual asymmetries with respect to the positive/negative opposition. All those
features are shared to a certain extent by many languages of North-West Africa. They are
also attested worldwide, in various phyla. We propose that such features are related to
the importance of the topic/focus distinction, and the predominance of aspectual over
tense distinctions in the language.
