“…Nooteboom (2005aNooteboom ( , 2010 takes evidence of a bimodal distribution of reparandum lengths, which has also been observed in conversation-analytic studies of repair (Schegloff 1979, Fox et al 2009), as support for a qualitative difference between early and late repairs. It is certainly difficult to see why, for example, 10% or 90% complete target word attempts should be attested more frequently than 50% complete target word attempts if repair is initiated immediately upon error detection by a single monitoring process.…”

“…On the other 6 Nooteboom's finding tallies well with Schegloff's (1979: 275) observation that in English spontaneous talk-ininteraction, repair is commonly initiated 'after the first sound of a word or just before its last sound'. Fox et al (2009) show that this tendency can be observed to some extent across a number of genetically unrelated languages. 7 Oomen & Postma (2001: 173) similarly operationalise what they call the 'error to cutoff time' as the duration from the start of the lexical item that is subject to repair to its end even though in their data, too, the point of observable error in phonological error repairs must vary.…”

This paper reports on a study of the temporal characteristics of phonological error repair in spontaneous Dutch speech, with a focus on how the articulation rate of the correct target word production -the repair -compares to that of the preceding erroneous target word attempt -the reparandum. The study is motivated by two findings from recent independent studies: first, that selfrepair is generally associated with relative temporal compression -that is, a local increase in articulation rate -following the repair initiation; second, that the timing of the repair initiation relative to the error is consequential for the prosody of the repair component. This study investigates to what extent these findings generalise to a collection of spontaneous phonological error repairs sampled from the Spoken Dutch Corpus. The study also asks how best to quantify repair timing, considers whether timing is consequential for the duration of the 'offset-to-repair interval', and tests for effects of lexical frequency. The results confirm that temporal compression following the repair initiation is more common than temporal expansion, and that repair timing has a significant effect on both offset-to-repair duration and repair tempo -at least in a subset of the data. A frequency effect is also observed. The results suggest that proportional measures of target word completeness provide the most informative quantifications of repair timing in modelling the overall temporal organisation of phonological error repairs.

“…the repairable, self-initiation, and self-repair segment, or in different next turns, while the latter, other repair or other initiation could only happen in the next turn, since it is from the other speaker. Though other initiation could also project self-repair, this study particularly selects those self-initiated self-repair turns as the focus in which laughter is employed between the post-initiation and pre-completion of the same turn, according to Fox, et al (2009) or between the repairable and the repairing segment according to Rieger (2003). These turns mostly occur in the Candidates' response to interviewer's question.…”

“…The most common location of repair initiation, according to Schegloff (1979), is just after the start of a turnconstructional unit (post-initiation) or just before its completion (pre-completion), for example, in the case of a word after its first sound or just before its last sound (Schegloff, 1979: p. 275). The relevant domain for the post-initiation (or post-beginning, as Fox et al, 2009 term it) of a unit starts after the first sound is recognizable and continues until the first sound is complete; whereas the relevant domain for pre-completion begins just before the final sound is articulated, and continues until just before the final sound is complete (Fox et al, 2009: p. 65). The term recognizable completion has been introduced by Fox et al (2009).…”

The term recognizable completion has been introduced by Fox et al (2009). Repair initiation at recognizable completion refers to initiations in or after the last sound of the word (Fox et al, 2009: p. 71), though different languages have very diverse morphosyntactic profiles in self-repair initiations.…”

Laughter as Same-Turn Self-Repair Initiation in L2 Oral Proficiency Interview

Repair is the effort that speaker makes to smooth utterances or conversations in order to achieve the ongoing progressivity of the turn. Among the types of repair, self-repair is mostly preferred (Schegloff et al., 1977) in talk-in-interaction, and in self-repair, self-initiated self-repair is mostly preferred, especially when it happens in the same turn. Therefore it has received much attention. In the gate-keeping interviews for Chinese candidates to get access to the target college in Britain, there occurs in L2 a large number of same-turn self-initiated self-repair cases, in which the initiation is no longer the single lexical words, or the non-lexical pauses like cutoff , or sound stretches as has been studied, but the paralinguistic device, laughter. Despite the numerous studies on roles of laughter, there is hardly a mention of laughter employed as a self-repair initiation. Consequently, this study determines on the focus on laughter as a self-repair initiator in L2, and aims to identify its exact shape and positions in self-repair and relevant repairing segment, therefore concluding on its specific functions and its relations with delicacy. This study wishes to contribute to the researches on self-repair initiation in Conversation Analysis and on laughter in particular L2 testing context.
