Take a look at Apple's OSX dialogue boxes. Apple uses contextual labels extensively.
Often the dialogue prompt will point to a Yes/No kind of response, but the options will be more contextual. Example, a dialogue box asking the user to confirm saving a file, might be titled "Do you want to save the file" and have the responses "Save" and "Don't Save", rather than Yes and No. The essentials in any dialogue is to clearly state the question and the options. There's rarely any reason to use Yes and No in such situations as more context is nearly always available and will really help prevent user frustration. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
