| dc.description | Face-to-face communication occurs in real time and thus speakers continuously need to plan and produce their utterances online. Verbal repetition is a linguistic tool commonly used by speakers in natural everyday discourse. and it attracts a great deal of interest in various types of spoken discourse including daily spoken discourse, service encounters, child language, classroom discourse etc. in an attempt to determine their cognitive, communicative, psycholinguistic and interactive functions. Pragmatic repetition refers to purposeful iteration of one’s own speech or the speech of a co-participant during spontaneous discourse. It is considered as a natural component of communication which fulfills various functions in spoken discourse. Van Lancker Sidtis and Wolf (2015) classify repetitions into three primary functions which further divide into several sub-functions. Primary functions of pragmatic repetitions have been described as i) maintaining the form of the conversation, ii) enhancing the content, and iii) socialization. As for the linguistic form of repetitions, five formal categories have been identified: i) localness (immediate, delayed or distant repetition); ii) preservation (exact or nonexact repetition), iii) source (self-repetition or other-repetition), iv) grammatical unit (word, phrase, clause etc.) and v) phrase type (novel or formulaic). This study aims to determine the functions of sentence repetitions in 4-hour Turkish daily spoken discourse using the given taxonomy within the framework of Conversation Analysis. Results showed that sentence repetitions were mainly used for socialization in other-repetitions and for maintaining the form of the conversation in self-repetitions. | |
