| Abstract: |
Repair–the process of detecting and responding to problems with speaking, hearing or understanding in conversation–is the focus of a range of established coding protocols. We discuss the practical process of developing and applying these protocols to a range of verbal and non-verbal repair phenomena. Coding protocols necessarily trade detail for generalization. We consider four payoffs: (i) practical–reduced effort and increased speed and scale of data analysis; ii) empirical–quantitative insights into the distribution of repairs that support comparative analysis and applications such as detecting Alzheimer’s Disease; iii) computational –enabling automatic detection of verbal and non-verbal repairs for corpus analysis, dialogue systems development, and to support selective experiments on repair processes; (iv) interdisciplinary–the process of protocol development provides a methodological bridge between qualitative and quantitative disciplines that can foster new insights into how repairs work. Data are in English and German. |
