Another Look at Yes/No Questions: Native Speakers and Non-native Speakers.
Williams, Jessica
Applied Linguistics, v11 n2 p159-82 Jun 1990
Examines the production of yes/no questions by native speakers of English and speakers of Singapore English, a non-native regional variety. The findings suggest that what constitutes target-like use remains ill-defined as long as native speaker behavior is assumed, or intuited, rather than documented. (40 references) (GLR)
