This book is a cross-linguistic study of the syntax of yes-no questions and their answers, drawing on data from a wide range of languages including English, Finnish, Swedish, Thai, Welsh, and Chinese. It illustrates how this seemingly trivial phenomenon can have the most wide-ranging consequences for theories of language.
