Abstract
Occasionally we can find the following sort of thing happening: A recipient of an erroneous statement, who has the resources to see that an error has been made, ‘passes’ the statement with, e.g., an acknowledgement token, i.e., accepts the statement as is. The prior speaker then produces a self-correction, whereupon the recipient, now in response to the corrected statement, produces the same response as that with which he accepted the erroneous statement. By so doing, the recipient may be minimizing the import of the error in the first place, and thus, perhaps, the import of his having accepted the erroneous statement.
Notes
Note 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" Note 2: Reprinted in: Gail Jefferson, Repairing the Broken Surface of Talk: Managing Problems in Speaking, Hearing, and Understanding in Conversation.
