    Abstract
    The aim of this study is to investigate the use of yeah-no in English, primarily in Australian English. It is a corpus based study which uses natural language data to analyse the distribution and the function of the discourse marker yeah-no in spoken English. A variety of sources were searched for examples of yeah-no tokens, and each instantiation was analysed from a discourse analytical perspective.
