backchanneling cues such as yes and uh-huh come under which stage of listening?
non-lexical
english allows for the reduplication, or repetition, of syllables within a non-lexical backchannel, such as in responses like "uh-huh", "mm-hm", or "um-hm", as well as for single-syllable backchanneling. in a study examining the use of two-syllable backchannels that focused on "mm" and "mm-hm", gardner found that the two tokens are generally not identical in function, with "mm" being used more productively as a continuer, a weak acknowledgment token, and a weak assessment marker. in contrast, "mm-hm" is generally used as a backchannel to signal that the speaker is yielding their conversational turn and allowing the other speaker to maintain control of the conversational floor.

uh huh her (band)









































uh huh her is an indie/rock/electropop band that was formed in january 2007. the band's name came from an album by artist pj harvey, titled "uh huh her". the band has mentioned several times changing their name to uhh (pronunciation "u-h-h"), as opposed to the full "uh huh her," believing the original name looks good in written form, but is awkward to pronounce. it is unclear at this time if the name change will be made official at any point.
