In conversation analytic research across languages, the syntax of self-repairs has received much attention, but we know less about the systematicities of self-repair initiation. Recent work has investigated how interactants can construct the connection between repairable and repair solution in particular ways through their choice of repair marker (e.g., Lerner &amp; Kitzinger 2015, 2019). After reviewing this literature, I look at one lexical element that can serve as a repair preface in English: <em>okay<\/em>. Taking as a point of departure my initial observation that such <em>okay<\/em>s regularly introduce a redirection of the action in progress, I address the following questions:<\/p><p> <\/p><ul><li>What types of redirecting\/repairing moves are regularly introduced with <em>okay<\/em>?<\/li><li>How far back do speakers \u2018reach\u2019 (i.e., what\/where is the repairable) in the repair process? Which projections are thereby deleted and which are newly created?<\/li><li>How can the use of <em>okay <\/em>as repair preface be connected to what we know about other uses of <em>okay <\/em>in interaction?<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><p>I then compare <em>okay <\/em>with other repair prefaces available in English (e.g., <em>no<\/em>, <em>well<\/em>, <em>or<\/em>) and discuss the contribution that work on repair prefacing can make to our understanding of grammar and (inter)action.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dmca.conversationanalysis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Nick-Enfield-2021-BW.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nick Enfield<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick Enfield is Professor of Linguistics and Director of the Sydney Centre for Language Research at the University of Sydney.

Language is the only animal communication system that can be used to communicate about itself. Here I argue that this property of language had at least three revolutionary consequences for our species. First, reflexivity provides the elements needed for reputation management, a foundational function in human society. A piece of gossip such as\u00a0<i>Kim lied to me\u00a0<\/i>is possible thanks to three elements that depend at some level on reflexivity: (1) personal names, (2) grammatical displacement (tense-marking), and (3) quoted speech. Arguably, all social accountability is grounded in these elements. Second, reflexivity provides the elements needed for the coherence of higher-level \u2018texts\u2019 including conversations and narratives, both of deep importance to human affairs, both for in-the-moment social coordination, cooperation, and persuasion, and for functions of speech oriented to cumulative cultural conventions and social norms across generations. These elements include (i) repair, turn-taking, and sequence organization in interaction, (ii) reference-tracking systems in texts, (iii) narrative structure. Third, quoted speech enables the separation of the \u2018animator\u2019 of a signal and its \u2018author\u2019 and \u2018principal\u2019\u2014meaning that one person\u2019s message can reach another person without the two people needing to be in each other\u2019s presence; the seemingly simple possibility of quoting another\u2019s speech is arguably the original information revolution in our species, having the effect of compressing space and time in social networks (by enabling a message to reach a recipient who is away from the sender); I speculate that every information revolution since (including writing, printing, mass media, and the Internet) has been an quantitative scaling of this basic qualitative advance.\u00a0This supports some speculations about the origins of reflexivity in language, and its relation to the roots of human sociality and language. I explore the idea that other-initiated repair is the wedge that introduces \u2018metalanguage\u2019 into a not-yet-linguistic system. It is communication about communication. The account also raises implications for the shared infrastructure for language and its role in communication in language contact situations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Betz Emma Betz is Associate Professor of German Applied Linguistics at the University of Waterloo, Canada.
