Forms and functions of conversational repair in mandarin corpus from the perspective of interactional linguistics

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study is twofold: one is to investigate the specific forms and functions of self-initiated repair and other-initiated repair in Mandarin corpus; the other is to examine from the perspective of interactional linguistics how various forms of repair can affect the ongoing dialogue between the speaker and the recipient in Mandarin conversation. Combined with a detailed analysis of repair organization in Mandarin Chinese corpus, the study reveals that repair indeed gives play to the function of turn maintenance, ambiguity elimination, speculation verification, information confirmation, problem location, and inquiry implementation.
