Humans are imperfect, and problems of speaking, hearing and
understanding are pervasive in ordinary interaction. This book
examines the way we 'repair' and correct such problems as they
arise in conversation and other forms of human interaction. The
first book-length study of this topic, it brings together a team of
scholars from the fields of anthropology, communication,
linguistics and sociology to explore how speakers address problems
in their own talk and that of others, and how the practices of
repair are interwoven with non-verbal aspects of communication such
as gaze and gesture, across a variety of languages. Specific
chapters highlight intersections between repair and epistemics,
repair and turn construction, and repair and action formation.
Aimed at researchers and students in sociolinguistics, speech
communication, conversation analysis and the broader human and
social sciences to which they contribute - anthropology,
linguistics, psychology and sociology - this book provides a
state-of-the-art review of conversational repair, while charting
new directions for future study.
