First Encounters: Repair Sequences in Cross‐Signing

Abstract: Most human communication is between people who speak or sign the same languages. Nevertheless, communication is to some extent possible where there is no language in common, as every tourist knows. How this works is of some theoretical interest (Levinson, ). A nice arena to explore this capacity is when deaf signers of different languages meet for the first time and are able to use the iconic affordances of sign to begin communication. Here we focus on other‐initiated repair (OIR), that is, where one signer ma… Show more

“…OIRs were used by all groups, supporting their universality as a means of addressing breakdowns in communication (Byun et al, 2017;Dingemanse & Enfield, 2015;Dingemanse, Roberts, et al, 2015). As predicted, OIRs were more frequently used by across-culture dyads, probably to bridge their lack of shared cultural knowledge.…”

“…Despite the great diversity of languages (Evans & Levinson, 2009), there is evidence for universal principles of language use (Levinson, 2016). Across languages, conversation is organised similarly; interlocutors speak one-at-a-time in alternating turns (Sacks et al, 1974;Stivers et al, 2009) and use other-initiated repairs (OIRs) to address breakdowns in communication (Byun et al, 2017;Dingemanse & Enfield, 2015;Dingemanse, Roberts, et al, 2015). Experimental-semiotic studies indicate that when participants communicate without using their existing language they often use iconic signs to ground shared meanings (e.g., Galantucci, 2005;Garrod et al, 2007).…”

“…There are several points of contact between the CA analysis of repair and cognitive science. The fact that repair sequences are both incremental and jointly managed highlights the fundamentally interactive nature of these processes (see Byun, De Vos, Bradford, U., & Levinson, ; McCabe & Healey, ; Purver et al., ). This creates particular difficulties for sentential approaches to the formal semantics of dialog and alternative approaches, inspired by a consideration of patterns of misunderstanding, are also explored in Ginzburg and Kolliakou () and Larsson ().…”

“…Byun et al. () review some of this work and also show how basic repair procedures are of critical importance for signers in situations where people do not have a common sign language. Similarly, in experiments in which people communicate solely by drawing, Healey, Swoboda, Umata, and King () identified graphical analogs of repair mechanisms that appear to play a key role in people's ability to create and coordinate invented graphical languages.…”
