半机构性话语中他人修正的启动--以汉语电视访谈为例

Initiation of Other-Repair in Semi-Institutional Discourse——A Study Based on Data from Chinese TV Talk Shows

本文以英语会话分析理论及其方法为依据,研究了半机构性话语(以汉语电视访谈为主)中他人修正的启动,从启动手段和启动位置对收集的277个例子进行数据统计和语言特征分析。研究发现:1)启动手段以无标记启动、疑问或要求、替换结构最为常见,由会话场景的机构性特点决定;2)启动位置大多发生在同一话轮和持续话轮内,与对自然会话研究的结果基本一致。

The paper examines initiation of other-repair in Chinese talk-in-interaction, especially TV talk shows defined as ＂semi-institutional discourse＂ on the basis of conversation analysis and its methodology. The author has collected 277 extracts and analyzes their linguistic features. It is found that 1 ） explicit initiation, question/request and replacement are three major initiation techniques, which is consistent with the characteristics of institutionalized discourse ; 2） most initiation occurs in the same turn and the next turn, which has been proved in the study of the conversation in the natural setting.
