This book is a collection of studies of corrections and repair in
conversation, by Gail Jefferson, co-founder of the field of
Conversation Analysis and one of its foremost researchers.
Throughout her career, Jefferson explored the almost hidden,
subterranean world of the seemingly minor errors and mistakes that
people make in interaction. Speech errors sometimes have an
ideological significance (e.g. a defendant apparently about to
refer to the police as "cops" but cutting off just in time to
correct that to "officer"). Despite the virtual invisibility of
these errors, such problematic moments in interaction bring into
play ways of remedying and correcting errors that can have profound
significance for the participants. Through these studies Jefferson
reveals the delicacy, the subtlety with which moments of
communication difficulties and possible miscommunications are
remedied, in such a way as to minimize the damage that might
otherwise be caused to the interaction. This collection represents
the most distinctive, sustained, and incisive exploration of what
speakers are "up to" in episodes when they correct errors in their
own and one another's speech. Combining rigorous technical
analysis, extraordinary methodological innovation, and acute
observation, Jefferson explored what she herself referred to as the
"wild side of Conversation Analysis." The coherence and depth of
her research is revealed in these studies, which include four
previously unpublished papers, as well as others that were
published variously in less widely-distributed journals and
publications. In the volume's introduction, editors Joerg Bergmann
and Paul Drew provide an appraisal, for the first time, of the
significance of Jefferson's stunningly inventive research into
errors and their correction in conversation.
