Abstract: Both the Mandarin copula "shi" and the Cantonese copula "shi" can be used for affirmative responses. From a cross linguistic perspective, it is not uncommon for conjunctions to simultaneously serve as responsive components. This article first argues that "shi" and "shi" should be considered as anaphoric components when used as affirmative response auxiliary words, supporting Krifka's (2013) analysis of corresponding answer auxiliary words. This article further points out that "shi" and "shi" can serve as anaphoric components and be used for affirmative responses, which is inseparable from the nature of their copulas. The connection between the two functions reflects the cyclic evolution of the process of grammaticalization of copulas (Lohndal 2009).
