✦ Synopsis

This book researches the various ways of saying 'yes' and 'no' in Welsh. In many languages, responding with 'yes' or 'no' is simple. This work shows that in Welsh a variety of forms can be used, depending upon syntax, morphology, lexis and semantics.The work will appeal to scholars of various interests: the chapters which analyse the answering system provide interesting data for theorists and comparative linguists; the chapters which describe and attempt to explain variation will be of interest to sociolinguists; and, of course, the whole work will appeal to Celticists Type theory with records and unification-based grammar / Robin Cooper -- One-letter automata : how to reduce k tapes to one / Hristo Ganchev, Stoyan Mihov, and Klaus U.
