In this paper we investigate the role of prosody and gesture in the interpretation of  yes -answers to negative  yes/no -questions in Catalan, a language with a polarity-based system of confirmation/contradiction of negative  yes/no -questions. Two rating experiments were conducted to test (i) whether  yes answers to negative  yes/no -questions are perceived as ambiguous by Catalan speakers when prosody and gesture are not available (Experiment 1), and (ii) whether the interpretation of  sí  ‘yes’ as an answer to a negative  yes/no -question is dependent on prosodic and gestural properties of the answer (Experiment 2). Our results show that  yes  always asserts a salient propositional discourse referent, which can be either  p  or ¬ p . Intonation and gesture guide the interpretation of  yes answers to negative  yes/no -questions in Catalan, and we show that a  yes answer with a marked intonation and gesture is to be interpreted as a denial or REJECT of a salient propositional discourse referent.
