an alignment strategy for the polarity response construction in which the answer agrees/disagrees with the polarity of the question. Example: in Gulf Arabic, the answers to the negative polarity question maa ʕindik fluus, muu chidhi? 'You don't have any money, right?' are naʕam 'yes, I have no money' (agreeing with the speaker) or bala 'no, I do have money' (disagreeing with the speaker). (Section 12.3.3)
