Abstract

A previously undocumented type of other-initiated repair (“OIR”) termed “positioned question” (“PQ”) is unique in turn-design, sequential remoteness to the trouble-source turn and its occurrence in non-dyadic interaction. Its characteristics provide insights into the interconnectedness of different OIR selection principles. For the intersection of grammar and interaction the analysis shows how syntax and word class are interrelated with aspects of sequence and action. With reference to the discussion of how the sociocultural, the linguistic and the interactional system are related in a theory of social order (Levinson 2005;Schegloff 2005), the results on PQ sindicate that the interactional system is central, and that the organization of language used in interaction is primarily based on interactional principles of action.
