A term used in conversational analysis to describe the way participants deal with mistakes, misunderstanding etc during discourse.
Repair strategies may involve :
a) Self repair - the speaker recognises the problem and corrects/explains herself. Eg :
A: Go straight on to the end of the road and then turn right at the end, by that cafe. No sorry - it isnt there any more. Its a supermarket now. Turn right by the supermarket.
b) Other repair - a listener recognises theres a problem and queries it. Eg :
A : Go straight on to the end of the road and then turn right at the end,
B : Right? Are you sure? Isnt it left?
A : Oh yes, sorry - I meant left.
