Abstract

The purpose of this study is to take a preliminary look at the conversations between two non-native speaker (NNS) international students and between a native-speaker and a NNS by focusing on the sequential organization of talk in turn-taking and on turn-repairs; and to compare and contrast aspects of talk in those two types of conversations. The introduction briefly discusses the relationship of the sequential organization of talk and repairs with the notion of intersubjectivity. The first section of the paper presents the four turn-repair types proposed by Schegloff, Jefferson and Sacks. The second section emphasizes third turn position repair as delineated by Schegloff. The third section compares and contrasts similar and distinctive features of patterns of turn-taking and repair in the natural talk of two dyads of NNSs and two dyads of a NS and NNS conversation.
