This study presents an account of the initiation and framing of self-initiated self-repairs in ongoing turn-constructional units in Farsi conversation. Informed by conversation analysis, the analysis of 636 instances of self-repairs culled from three data sources representing a wide variety of interactions revealed that there is some language-specific prosodic patterning which applies to both the foregrounding for incipient repairs and repair solutions. The particle yani (I mean, meaning), predominantly used as a pre-positioned lexical initiator, is routinely used to index a rather specific repair operation: substituting a wholly or partially uttered element of the current turn or repackaging the terms in which it has been couched. Unlike lexical initiators which are infrequent, retracting is frequently launched to fashion repair solutions, but is highly constrained by language-specific (morpho)syntactic rules. Moreover, the complementary distribution of the use of lexical initiators and retracting suggests a possible association between repair initiation and framing. The findings provide further evidence of how self-repairs which constitute a universal feature of interaction are shaped by local semiotic resources of Farsi, especially grammatical possibilities, lending further support to the interdependency of self-repairs and syntax-for-conversation. • Determining language-specific prosodic patterning in self-repairs initiation. • Working out the function of the lexical initiator of yani (I mean) in Farsi talk-in-interaction. • Discerning language-specific retraction patterns in framing self-repairs. • Presenting empirical evidence for complementary distribution of lexical initiators and retracting. • Scrutinizing the trajectory of repair from repair initiation to its solution.

I den här artikeln tar jag upp en specifik lexikal markör för ersättande reparation, nämligen partikeln "eiku" som kan påträffas i ledigt helsingforssvenskt samtalsspråk. Denna partikel härstammar från finskan och kan anses vara en kombination av negationen "ei" och konjunktionen "kun", i princip ’nej utan’. Partikeln är mycket vanlig i reparationer på finska och tycks inte ha direkta motsvarigheter i andra språk. Därför kan den antas fylla ett slags lucka speciellt i tvåspråkiga helsingforssvenskars språk. I denna studie ska jag först kort redogöra för ersättande reparation på svenska samt tidigare observationer av "eiku" i finska samtal och i finländsk svenska. Efter denna bakgrund övergår jag till att visa och diskutera exempel ur ett helsingforssvenskt samtalsmaterial. Här utgår jag från en samtalsanalytisk sekvensanalys, där reparationssekvenserna står i fokus, och i synnerhet hur partikeln "eiku" placeras i sekvenserna. I slutet av artikeln dryftar jag partikelns betydelse för svenskan i Helsingfors som språkkontaktfenomen och vad vi kan säga om dess etableringsgrad i en tvåspråkig talgemenskap, där olika inlåningsmekanismer ofta är förankrade i social interaktion.

REFERENCE (Linguistics) , *GERMAN language , *FRENCH language , *CONVERSATION analysis , *LEXICAL access - Abstract
This conversation analytic study examines the use and function of repair initiators in German and French, in particular those beginning with specific wh -words and targeting prior references to objects or phenomena (i.e., non-person entities). In both languages, the specific repair initiators vary depending upon the type of reference problem encountered. For underspecified prior referents, repairs are initiated with was/was denn. (what.) in German and le quoi (what) in French. Failures to recognize prior referents prompt the repair initiators was ist (what is) in German, and c’est quoi (what is) in French. With lexical access issues, these latter repair initiators are followed by noch mal (again) and déjà (already) in German and French, respectively. The repair initiators welch- (which) in German and lequel (which) follow failures to identify one referent from among a given set. If no set is identifiable, the repair initiator was für (what x) is used in German; there is no corresponding repair initiator in the French corpus. Non-comprehension of turns or actions prompt repair initiations with wie (what) + repeat in German, and with hein (huh) + repeat in French. Where relevant, the study also discusses translation-related issues that concern both crosslinguistic similarity and interactional accomplishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This ar cle examines Finnish L2 learners’ interactional practices of flagging trouble in pronouncing words when reading aloud texts in English. Using conversation analysis, it describes how students employ three repair initiaon techniques – direct requests, trying out, and aborting the reading – as methods through which they mobilize teachers’ help in the form of a model pronunciation of the target word. By describing the sequential and temporal unfolding of read-aloud, the article presents an empirical way of tracing those classroom practices that students employ to develop their pronunciation skills of English in Finland. CA-based methodology that focuses on the interactional details of how classroom activities are organized provides new insights on what happens in classroom interaction in terms of pronuncia on instruction. The findings not only have local relevance to teachers’ pedagogical training in Finland, but also more broadly in showing L2 teachers how classroom activities can be organized to promote practicing of pronunciation skills.

This study focuses on ‘trouble spots’ that occur in the English as a Foreign Language classroom. A trouble spot is an umbrella term for all types of language problems that arise. This means that it covers the trouble sources of repairs, corrections as well as problematising activities in the classroom. Ten different instances of trouble spots are identified and documented in the study. These are grouped into four different categories depending on how the trouble spot occurred, who initiated it and how it was resolved. To investigate the classroom interaction Conversation Analysis was chosen as a method and two different English lessons in two different Swedish upper-secondary schools were filmed. In order to investigate the trouble spots the following research questions are addressed What types of trouble spots arise in the English language classroom and how are they signalled as trouble? How are the trouble spots dealt with by teachers and students? The results confirm that most trouble spots are identified and handled by the speakers themselves and that the second-most involved person is the teacher. This is expected as there is a preference for self-initiated self-repair in ordinary conversation. However, in classroom interaction the preference organisation is not always similar to that of ordinary conversation. Correction in the classroom is often other-initiated without it being face-threatening. Furthermore, the context of the task at hand is very important when it comes to how trouble spots are resolved.
