Sino-Platonic Papers, 27 (August 3 1, 199 1) In Figure 2 we see quite clearly that when Taipei and Peking speakers wish to express an affirmative rhetorical question, their preferences are not the same. Taipei speakers show a very strong inclination to use tag questions, while Peking speakers show a fairly even division between the two, and if there is any preference at all, it is for BA or some other sentence-final particle. Figure 2. Distribution of Affirmative Rhetorical Yes-No Questions by Pattern & City Pattern Taipei Peking Total Total ChiSq = 3.972 + 3.928 + 6.299 + 6.229 = 20.429 IV. CONCLUSIONS The data contained within this study convincingly demonstrates that although Taipei and Peking speakers essentially share the same syntactic repertoire for expressing yes-no questions, the two speech communities differ from one another in terms of which form or forms they prefer. When the question is pragmatically neutral, Taipei speakers prefer the explicit syntactic marking of the A-not-A form, while Peking speakers prefer sentence intonation + MA, or sentence intonation alone to perform this function. Consistent with this dichotemy between expressing a yes-no question either through an A-not-A structure or by means of a sentence-final particle, when the speaker possesses a strong assumption as to what the proper answer ought to be, Taipei speakers once again show a strong preference for the disjunctive form while Peking speakers continue to favor a sentence-final particle.
