This paper utilizes the method of typology to analyze and compare the structural forms of X-Neg-X positive-negative questions in VO and OV languages in ethnic minority languages in China. It is concluded that the positive-negative questions in VO and OV languages contain implicational universals and dominant word order, which roughly reflects the typological characteristics of positive-negative questions in ethnic minority languages in China.
