    Negative polar interrogatives in (standard) Japanese come in two varieties: (i) ones that convey a positive epistemic bias and where the word containing the negation is tonally subdued (the P-type), and (ii) ones that convey a negative epistemic bias and where the word containing the negation is not tonally subdued (the NN-type). Our research examined the prosodic and semantic properties of each type. Also, features exhibited by the two Japanese constructions were compared with ones of the counterparts in English and South Gyeongsang Korean.
