In this paper, I concentrate on the distribution and interaction of operators (question phrases, focused constituents, universal quantifiers and the negative particle) in the preverbal domain of Hungarian finite clauses. I considerably modify the LFG-XLE analysis I presented in Laczkó (2014a). On the one hand, I complement some aspects of my earlier analysis. On the other hand, I enlarge the empirical coverage greatly by developing an account of all the construction types investigated by Mycock (2010).
