description | This article describes the interactional patterns and linguistic structures associated with otherinitiated
repair, as observed in a corpus of video-recorded conversation in the Lao language (a Southwestern
Tai language spoken in Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia). The article reports findings specific to the Lao
language from the comparative project that is the topic of this special issue. While the scope is general to
the overall pattern of other-initiated repair as a set of practices and a system of semiotic resources, special
attention is given to (1) the range of repair operations that are elicited by open other-initiators of repair in
Lao, especially the subtle changes made when problem turns are repeated, and (2) the use of phrase-final
particles—a characteristic feature of Lao grammar—in the marking of both other-initiations of repair and
repair solution turns. |
