Abstract
This study examines, from a conversation-analytic perspective, the role of post-mortems following reference repair, whose organisational features exhibit the participants’ remedially motivated orientations towards managing their face and membership categories in accounting for a problematic reference. Post-mortems are predominantly organised as self-deprecating or other-supportive accounts, through which the troublesome character of a trouble source is downgraded, e.g., attributed to a momentary lapse. Their face-sensitive character is sometimes oriented via the repair-initiator’s abdication of correction, geared to pre-empting their generation, particularly when the repairable is an English word or its nativised version. In entertainment-oriented talk-shows, post-mortems, organised as mock-activities, are designedly promoted through exposed correction/reformulation. A case of problematic reference understanding is examined and accounted for as deriving from a tying-based mishearing, with the repair initiator being incorrectly primed to the trouble-source expression as continuative of the categorial flow of the preceding sequence, without recognising its sequence-organisational import in launching post-mortems.
