Resum: | In this article the main research issues raised in the study of response systems in natural languages are critically reviewed by addressing the syntax and semantics of fragment answers and yes/no response particles. Fragment answers include replies that do not have a sentential form, while response particles consist solely of an affirmative or a negative adverb. While the main research question in the syntax of fragments and response particles has been whether these contain more syntactic structure than what is actually pronounced, the key issues in the study of their semantics are question-answer congruence, the anaphoric potential of response particles, and the meaning of fragments in relation to positive and negative questions. In connection to these issues, some interesting avenues for further research are suggested such as (i) providing an analysis of particles other than yes/no, (ii) deciding whether some non-lexically based or non-verbal responses are systematically used in combination with polar particles to express (dis)agreement, and (iii) choosing between echoic vs. non-echoic forms as answers to polar questions. |
