Abstract
This study examines Korean speakers’ practice of initiating repair on the recipient’s talk with and without a subject or object particle and shows that the addition (or deletion) of the particle plays an important role in implementing the action of repair initiation. Initiating repair with a particle ordinarily serves as a harbinger of disagreement, surprise, or disbelief, while initiating repair without a particle functions as an understanding check. The study further suggests possible explanations for how and why the addition of the particle achieves the interactional work of performing a negatively valenced action in Korean. Data are in Korean with English translation.
