ABSTRACT

This article examines the use of the Danish response tokens ja (“yes”) and nej (“no”) with rising pitch in everyday interaction in Danish. Ja and nej do more than (dis)confirmation, and the analysis shows that the tokens with rising pitch achieve affiliation in second position in sequences containing displays of affective stance, which is shown to be contrastive with the tokens with level pitch that instead disaffiliate in the same sequences. Turns eliciting the tokens are also often marked with a wide pitch span, but sometimes other prosodic features than pitch are employed to perform a display of affective stance. Eliciting turns often request reconfirmation but can also implement other actions that make ja or nej a relevant response. The affiliation achieved is shown to be similar across both ja and nej when doing a range of actions, such as (dis)confirmation, acceptance, or agreement. Data are in Danish.

抽象的

本文研究了丹麦响应标记ja（“是”）和nej（“否”）在丹麦语中日常互动中的使用日益增加的情况。Ja和nej所做的不仅仅是确认（dis）确认，而且分析表明，音高上升的代币在包含情感姿态显示的序列中达到第二位的隶属关系，这与水平音高的代币相反，而代币在相同的顺序。引发标记的转弯通常也用宽音高跨度来标记，但是有时会采用音高以外的其他韵律特征来表现情感姿态。引发转弯往往要求重新确认，但还可以实现其他动作，使JA或拒绝相关回应。当执行一系列动作（例如（取消）确认，接受或同意）时，在ja和nej上实现的从属关系相似。数据以丹麦文显示。
