|Abstract=This article considers the use of negative polarization in polar (yes/no) questions. It argues that question polarity is used to take an epistemic stance toward the probability or improbability of the state of affairs referenced in the question and that taking such a stance is effectively unavoidable. Focusing on negatively polarized questions (NPQs), four main kinds of evidence are adduced that NPQs are associated with the questioner’s stance that the question’s underlying proposition is unlikely: (a) self-repair to reverse or otherwise adjust polarity; (b) evidence from the prior talk from which the question is occasioned; (c) contexts in which a particular state of affairs is relevant but has remained unstated; (d) overall structural organizational features of talk (e.g., conversational closings) that militate against the likelihood of affirmative responses. Finally, the article proposes that question design represents a distinct organizational layer vis-à-vis the preference-organizational characteristics of actions, and it appears to function in distinctive ways in relation to recruitment- and affiliation-relevant questions (e.g., requests, offers, etc.) by comparison with information-seeking questions. Data are drawn from corpora of British and American English conversations.

|Abstract=This paper conceptualizes the act of diagnosis in primary care as a 'diagnostic moment,’
comprising a diagnostic utterance in a 'diagnostic slot,' together with a patient response. Using a dataset of 201 treated conditions drawn from 255 video recorded medical visits with 71 physicians across 33 clinical practices in the Western United States, we investigate the incidence of diagnostic moments, aspects of their verbal design, and patient responsiveness. We find that only 53% of treated conditions in the dataset are associated with a diagnostic moment. Physicians present 66% of these diagnoses as hedged or otherwise doubtful, and deliver 30% of them without gazing at the patient. In the context of these diagnostic moments, patients are nonor minimally responsive 59% of the time. These findings underscore the different significance that may be accorded diagnosis in primary care in contrast to care in other medical contexts. The paper concludes that the analysis of sequences of action which empirically realize diagnosis are underrepresented in the sociology of diagnosis, and that better understanding of the diagnostic moment would enhance our understanding of diagnostic processes in primary care.

|Title=Exploring dangran ‘of course’ responses to polar questions in Taiwan Mandarin talk-in-interaction

|Abstract=Building on previous conversation analytic studies on question resistance across languages, this study examines Taiwan Mandarin dangran ‘of course’ as a response to polar questions in order to probe into Mandarin speakers’ methods of pushing back question constraints. Data consists of 159 cases from 232.5-h ordinary conversations and institutional interactions. Adopting multimodal conversation analysis and interactional linguistics, the study identified and analyzed dangran as a single response and as one of the elements in different response types. Findings have shown that respondents commonly apply dangran to indicate the undoubtedness of the matter under discussion, thus treating the question as unaskable and holding the questioners morally responsible in asking a question that contains the information they should have known. In contrast to “of course” in English, dangran does not always suggest a morality counterchallenge by the respondents (i.e., not the kind of person implied in the question). Regarding those responses where dangran manifests a moral concern, they tend to co-occur with a final particle a. Through multimodal analysis, these findings are supported by various semiotic resources utilized by participants in their dangran responses. This study advances the understanding of resistant answers to polar questions in cross-linguistic research.
