(e.g.) Although Duroiselle makes some useful comments about negatives ("na",
"no", etc.), what is needed here is something concrete as to why the
negation is sometimes before the verb, sometimes before a substantive, and
sometimes ... elsewhere in the sentence.  The same can be said of just about
everything mentioned in his chapter on Syntax (e.g., position of
interrogatives, etc.).

Just a stray remark on the use of katama "who, which." To the best of my
knowledge no one has observed that katama is used anaphorically. You will
find this usage amply exemplified in Vedic prose as well as Pali.
