- Summary:
- 'The Book of Answers' analyzes all the ways that we confirm questions in our everyday social lives. When do we answer with Yeah rather than He is, for instance; or when do we use more complicated forms of confirming? Relying on a large corpus of naturally occurring recordings of spontaneous social interaction, Tanya Stivers analyzes what each unique way of responding allows us to do.
