| Summary: | ABSTRACT The study entitled "The Study of Repairing Patterns in a News Interview and a Casual Conversation on TV" is aimed to investigate the repairing patterns both in a news interview and a casual conversation in television programs. In addition, this study investigates the reasons for producing repairs and examines the similarities and differences of repairing patterns both in those two conversational settings. This study uses purposive sampling to select the sample of the study. An interview in Today's Dialogue and Dorce Show programs was audio-tape recorded. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methods by using Finnegan's theory (1992). The findings show that self-initiated, self-repair in the same turn; self-initiated, self-repair in third turn; other-initiated, self-repair; self-initiated, other-repair; and other-initiated, other-repair are categories of repairing patterns used by the participants both in a news interview and a casual conversation in television programs. Most of the participants in those two conversational settings used self-initiated, self-repair in the same turn: 92.31% by the participants in the news interview and 86% by the participants in the casual conversation. They produced repairs mostly because they realized they made a mistake. Differences of repairing patterns between a news interview and a casual conversation on TV can be seen in terms of the total number of repairing patterns, the occurrences of the most preferred category, the use of the second and the least preferred categories of repairing patterns. This study concludes that the participants both in a news interview and a casual conversation on TV are aware of having a smooth flow of communication. In addition, the different circumstances between those two conversational settings may influence their organization of repair. |
