Ask a Chinese a question in the negtive, 'Aren't you coming to the party?' they will answer logically correct: 'Yes' (I'm not coming to the party) whereas a Westerner will answer, logically incorrect 'No, I'm not coming to the party.' Perhaps this is related to 英子的回答。

Suppose Yingzi does not work for a company anymore: 你不是在一家公司工作吗？不是/不在/不对 should be the appropriate response. 你是不是不在一家公司工作？是/对/不在 should be the appropriate response. In this case, Yingzi misspoke.
