Abstract:

This book is a collection of studies of corrections and repair in
conversation, by Gail Jefferson, co-founder of the field of Conversation
Analysis and one of its foremost researchers. Throughout her career, Jefferson
explored the almost hidden, subterranean world of the seemingly minor errors
and mistakes that people make in interaction. Speech errors sometimes have an
ideological significance (e.g. a defendant apparently about to refer to the
police as "cops" but cutting off just in time to correct that to "officer").
Despite the virtual invisibility of these errors, such problematic moments in
interaction bring into play ways of remedying and correcting errors that can
have profound significance for the participants. Through these studies
Jefferson reveals the delicacy, the subtlety with which moments of
communication difficulties and possible miscommunications are remedied, in
such a way as to minimize the damage that might otherwise be caused to the
interaction.

This collection represents the most distinctive, sustained, and incisive
exploration of what speakers are "up to" in episodes when they correct errors
in their own and one another's speech. Combining rigorous technical analysis,
extraordinary methodological innovation, and acute observation, Jefferson
explored what she herself referred to as the "wild side of Conversation
Analysis." The coherence and depth of her research is revealed in these
studies, which include four previously unpublished papers, as well as others
that were published variously in less widely-distributed journals and
publications. In the volume's introduction, editors Jörg Bergmann and Paul
Drew provide an appraisal, for the first time, of the significance of
Jefferson's stunningly inventive research into errors and their correction in
conversation.
