“…The study adds to the growing body of conversation analytic research on various practices used to resist and problematize the constraints imposed by questions (e.g., Bolden, 2009;Clayman, 2013;Clayman & Heritage, 2002;Golato & Fagyal, 2008;Hayashi, 2009;Heinemann, 2009;Heritage, 1998;Heritage & Raymond, 2012; H.

R. S. Kim, 2013a;Raclaw, 2013).…”

“…R. S. Kim, 2013a;Raclaw, 2013). As Hayashi and Kushida (2013) note, the general sense of "no" across languages is that it serves as an alert to the questioner that the subsequent part of the response resists or rejects some aspect of the underlying terms and agendas conveyed by the preceding question, although specific functions of "no" in each language vary. This is also the case for the Korean ani-preface in response to polar questions.…”

“…The practices of resisting the preceding questions' goals and agendas have been documented across different languages and contexts (Bolden, 2009;Clayman, 2013;Clayman & Heritage, 2002;Golato & Fagyal, 2008;Hayashi, 2009;Hayashi & Kushida, 2013;Heinemann, 2009;Heritage, 1984Heritage, , 1998Heritage & Raymond, 2012;Keevallik, 2012; H. R. S. Kim, 2013aKim, , 2013bRaclaw, 2013;Schegloff & Lerner, 2009;Stivers & Hayashi, 2010, among others). Interestingly, many of these studies have focused on the deployment of turn-initial elements to show the respondents' resistance to the preceding question regardless of typology in the language (see Heritage, 2013; H. R. S. Kim & Kuroshima, 2013;Schegloff, 1987Schegloff, , 1996.…”

Resisting the Terms of Polar Questions Through Ani (‘No’)-Prefacing in Korean Conversation

This article reports on the conversation-analytic investigation of ani 'no'-prefaced responses to polar questions in Korean conversation, when ani is not used as a negative response particle to negate or disconfirm the truth conditional proposition of the question. Understanding polar questions as advancing the questioner's hypothesis for confirmation, the article demonstrates that the ani-preface in the responsive turn resists (1) the polar question's presupposition that the hypothesis is confirmable and (2) the framing of the proposed hypothesis. Overall, the study rediscovers ani 'no' as a turnbeginning particle that indexes the respondent's resistance to responding to the question as framed and further discusses the token's "positionally sensitive" character by discussing cases of ani-prefaced turns that occur in response to wh-questions.

“…The yes-no response system in Japanese and the response tokens associated with it such as hai, ee, un, ie, iie, uun, and iya have been discussed in many studies that examine the usage of these tokens in interactive situations (Kitagawa 1980;Okutsu 1989;Saft 1998;Angles et al 2000;Togashi 2003;Kushida 2005;Hayashi 2010;Tanaka 2010;Hayashi and Kushida 2013;Fukuhara 2014;Kushida and Hayashi 2015, etc.). Iya is one of those frequently used tokens and is typically translated as 'no' in English; however, iya has several properties that cannot be directly translated into 'no' in English.…”

Making ‘yes’ stronger by saying ‘no’

The present study examined the recordings of naturally occurring conversations among native speakers of Japanese, and analyzed the cases of iya ‘no’ that are uttered in response to yes-no questions. The analysis has shown that iya can be uttered in response to a yes-no question even when the response to the question is ‘yes,’ as long as the propositional information that follows iya signals ‘yes’ to the question. When iya prefaces a response of ‘yes,’ the speaker can express a stronger message of ‘yes’ since it creates a pragmatic effect of expressing needless to ask… along with signaling ‘yes’ with the propositional information that follows iya.

“…Of course in English challenges the question's presupposition that both confirmation and disconfirmation are viable answers (Stivers, 2011). Transformative responses in English, Japanese, and Korean resist, and seek to alter, the terms and agenda of the question (Hayashi and Kushida, 2013;Lee, 2011;Stivers and Hayashi, 2010). Also of relevance is research on turn-initial prefacing in English, Japanese, and Russian (Bolden, 2009;Hayashi, 2009;Heritage, 1998).…”
