This paper describes two types of negation, viz., sentential and constituent negation in Monsang. The study shows that in constituent negation, the negative marker -má: (~-máʔ) is attached to the constituent it negates, whereas in sentential negation, the negative markers -má: (~-máʔ) and -mé occurs postverbally and negates whole proposition.
