Answering negative questions in Russian

Answering negative questions in Russian. Panchenko, Y. In Proceedings of 11th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics, 2020. ExLing Society.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

In colloquial Russian answers “yes” and “no” to negative polar questions can either stand for confirmation or contradiction of the proposition of a question. This paper contains an experimental research of correlation between the choice of “yes” or “no” response particle and the way of expressing negation and the presence of li particle in a question and also of comprehension of the short “yes” answer. The results showed that there are several competing strategies for answering negative polar questions and acceptability judgments of possible answers in Russian, meanwhile the correlation with the presence of li particle in a question was approved.
