Drawing on a corpus of approximately 30 hours of both informal conversation and interviews, we analyse the interaction between intonation and turntaking, and the use of yeah-no by topic, conversational genre, and age and gender of speaker. The results indicate that the peak of yeah-no production occurs among speakers aged 35-49 years, and gender differences are not apparent in this preliminary analysis.", pages = "149-171(23)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/cajl/2002/00000022/00000002/art00001" }
