Conversational repair

An interactive process for addressing problems with speaking, listening, or comprehension.

Explanation

An interactive process for addressing problems with speaking, listening, or comprehension. Communication demonstrates its stability precisely in the fact that disruptions can be publicly identified and jointly resolved.

Example

Atlas example: Communication demonstrates its stability precisely in the fact that disruptions can be publicly identified and jointly resolved.

Counterexample

Mere formal similarity without the relationship characteristic of repair.

Distinction

Distinction from epanorthosis: What is decisive in repair is the specific movement: communication demonstrates its stability precisely in the fact that disruptions can be publicly identified and jointly resolved.

Effect on thought and perception

Communication demonstrates its stability precisely in the fact that disruptions can be publicly identified and resolved collaboratively.

Resonance

Repair makes relationship perceptible as a directed change: Communication demonstrates its stability precisely in the fact that disruptions can be publicly identified and jointly resolved.
