Repair

[@lanzcordero2132]

This is one of the few videos I found here on youtube about this topic. Thank you for this!

[@SaulAlbert]

Excellent video Em! Thanks - I sent it to my students. Great work!

[@MistaSmith]

Most of the content in conversation analysis is still way over my head and I had a hard time following the video. I enjoy this kind of discomfort because it makes me learn faster. Thanks, Em!

The video is clear but do you know what CA stands for? That is where I am stuck!...LOL

Hang on--- I like this and you - before finishing the video I'd added it to my disability-related playlist because it's an important topic which I come up against again and again. I'll keep it there i think but by the end of the video I was a bit frustrated and feeling let down; you've shown a lot of examples of where topic repair has gone awry or become problematic; that gives us the problem of remembering the terms in connection to how topic repair genuinely can be useful (if we're going to go in for doing the technical side properly) whilst again also leaving us wondering how people outside of a comedy routine or salty publicity interview can and do ever effectively use topic repair and do so the right way!? Or not go insane wondering and feeling inadequate! I'm sure your audience spans a mixture of linguists and self-help/general interest: I'm a bit interested in linguistics else i wouldn't be here but more to the latter. How do you solve problem with a lack of effective topic repair, or is that completely outside the scope of linguistically acknowledging there is such a feature of language? What about the consequential response to an unhelpful switcheroo trying to evade the question - sometimes they get away with it in a slightly rephrased question but that doesn't give an answer to how to repair that conversation satisfyingly. of course it's a seperate but related and important question whether all parties want to repair the conversation. And then there's knowing what is the most appropriate terminology to use, in the heat of an argument or misunderstanding. It becomes a Monty python sketch or a bigger mess of misunderstanding if you start using linguistic terminology. Or try to do so half-cocked! I think my husband might find it interesting with the comedy references and it could be a different way to engage him, I certainly appreciate them. But i'm not sure it quite adds up to a functional augmentation of this set of tools beyond academic knowledge acquisition, which is disappointing and a bit bewildering for me. Nice backdrop. Somewhere in Ireland or the UK?

Hi! Thank you so much! Your comment is really interesting. You're right; this is definitely just an overview of repair - it barely scratches the surface on what repair can do and when it's used and what the outcomes are. I'd also agree it isn't super practical yet in terms of using it as tools. It's more of a description of how human do things (admittedly with popular media as examples). But that's a great idea for another video. I'll try to think of some especially practical uses for everyday life!

From where can I find the full video of the conversation in this tutorial please

[@Timnmoss52]

Hi! Love the video. Would it be possible to get a copy of the transcript of the Faulty Towers scene for classroom purposes?

[@lizturnbull1140]

Em. Do you have a video about person reference? I am finding this very challenging in my module so if you can help that would be great!
