Diese Studie aus dem Bereich der Interaktionalen Linguistik beschreibt und erklart erstmals umfassend die Struktur selbstinitiierter Selbstreparaturen im Deutschen.

Dieses Modell, in dessen Zentrum das Streben der Sprecher nach einer moglichst schnellen Beseitigung des Reparandums steht, sagt die Position des Abbruchpunkts und des Retraktionspunkts vorher.

Is it a failure of our technology that we have not gotten much further than an automated voice that tells us to "say or press 1"? Or is there something fundamental in human language and speech that we do not yet understand deeply enough to be able to...
