A Case Study on Self-repair in Casual Talk of ESL Speakers
Abstract
intermediate level ESL adult speakers A and B (A is a Chinese female undergraduate; B is a Brazilian male undergraduate). The data consists
of a three-minute audio recording and its transcript, and adopts the conversation analysis transcription system of Richards’ (2003:173-
4). This study focuses on exploring how self-repair is conducted through detailed analysis and how the ESL participants solve the trouble
sources and spontaneously use various construction types of self-repair to sustain an adequate daily conversation.
