Answers to "Yes/No" Questions
Richards, Jack C.
English Language Teaching Journal, 31, 2, 136-141, Jan 77
Types of answers to "yes/no" questions are categorized according to their use of "yes" or "no," use of verbs in the question, use of additional information, and use of affirmative or negative expressions. EFL textbook exercises seldom correspond to real conversation; suggestions are made for improvements. (CHK)
