Abstract

The conversation analytic study reported in this paper examines the interface between pragmatics and phonology in English as a Lingua Franca interactions (Schegloff 2007; Seidlhofer 2011). Previous research demonstrates that one strategy with which English as a Lingua Franca speakers can overcome miscommunication is to modify pronunciation (Matsumoto 2011). Examining a corpus of pronunciation miscommunications, which are defined as repair sequences in which pronunciation is oriented to as the trouble source, this study claims that the repair of pronunciation takes two primary forms: 1) preemptive segmental repair, which takes the form of self repair and forestalls the possibility of other repair, and 2) reactive segmental repair, which takes the form of both self and other repair and modifies unintelligible pronunciation to intelligible pronunciation.
