Abstract

Sentence-level functional categories are the functional category with specific grammatical effects by the means of the whole-sentence, which usually include negative category, interrogative category and assumption category, etc. The categories in Irish all could be realized through adjoining operation device on sentence-initial position. The pre-predicate position usually coincides with sentence- initial position under the influence of normative word-order in Irish, and thus it makes a difference to syntactic operation device on this position. However, at least to negative category, there is only the adjoining negation operation on sentence-initial position or pre-predicate position presently, and the operation taking up sentence-final position or the corpus using movement or reduplication has not been found.
