Re: terminators

[Robin Turner <robin@BILKENT.EDU.TR>]

Maybe it's a matter of perspective whether you regard the Y in a X .... Y
.... structure as a terminator for the first phrase, or the beginning of
the second phrase, or something to link the two.  To find a clear-cut
terminator, we would need an example which can stand on its own.  Funnily
enough, while I was racking my brains trying to remember Chinese, I ignored
a really obvious one ...

Je *ne* le crois *pas*

If "pas" isn't a terminator here, I'd like to know what is!
