> I agree with Paul Hopper here. I’d be surprised if there was a language where you COULDN’T express affirmation by repetition. There’s work in Conversation Analysis that suggests this. Tanya Stivers (2023) ‘The Book of Answers’ OUP would be a good starting point.
> I was just yesterday transcribing some Garrwa (Northern Australian, non-Pama-Nyungan) conversations, and came across affirmative repetition answers in the 5 minutes or so that I transcribed.
