Abstract
An 'organization of repair' operates in conversation, addressed to recurrent problems in speaking, hearing, and understanding. Several features of that organization are introduced to explicate the mechanism which produces a strong empirical skewing in which self-repair predominates over other-repair, and to show the operation of a preference for self-repair in the organization of repair. Several consequences of the preference for self-repair for conversational interaction are sketched.
Notes
1: John Heritage adds this to the list on Affiliation saying: "Most of the older preference literature is about affiliation in a broad sense, see for example [big list of work more directly on affiliation] ... Insofar as a lot of the basic work on repair is concerned with describing practices for the avoidance of (overt) other correction, then the same holds there"
