Abstract

This article explores the use of the Danish change-of-state token n\aa as it is used in polar Q(uestion)-A(nswer) sequences. N\aa is more generally employed in Danish to register an informing, whether this informing was solicited by the producer of n\aa or not. In polar Q-A sequences, n\aa is used to register solicited informings and here serves exclusively to receipt answers that counter the questioner's expectations and that may thus require a redirection of action. I rely on both distributional and sequential evidence to illustrate this. First, in polar Q-A sequences where n\aa is produced, answers that are nonconfirming and/or not type-conforming are overrepresented, when compared to polar Q-A sequences in general. Second, participants orient in additional ways to their expectations being countered in polar Q-A-n\aa sequences, for instance, by explicating why the answer was counter to their expectations or what consequences this will have for them. Data are in Danish with English translation.
