review: Editorial Reviews Review "This book is a comprehensive exploration of speech errors. First, methodologically, it integrates rigorous analysis, methodological innovation, and insightful observation. Second, it reveals the subtle way in which moments of communication difficulty are remedied to minimize the damage to the interaction. Third, it addresses insightful practical engagement with human experience. It is the first systematic collection of studies of errors in utterance. It deserves reading by both researchers and students." -- Xiaofang Duan, Language in Society "Gail Jefferson was a tremendous scholar and a unique mentor, driven by her passion for the extraordinary complexity and intricacy of human interaction. By bringing together her articles on repair and correction, this book recognizes her masterful contribution to the study of the orderly details of talk and endless contingencies of action."-Lorenza Mondada, Professor of Linguistics, University of Basel "Over a period of more than thirty-five years Gail Jefferson was an incomparable innovator in the field of repair. This superb collection, including several previously unpublished papers, captures the entire span of that innovation. Indispensable!"-John Heritage, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles About the Author Gail Jefferson was one of the founders of the field of Conversation Analysis (CA), known for her innovative methods and notational conventions for transcribing talk. Jörg Bergmann held positions at various universities in Germany until 2012 when he retired as a full professor of sociology at Bielefeld University. He was one the first scholars to introduce ethnomethodology and conversation analysis to German sociology. Paul Drew has taught and conducted research in conversation analysis for many years, at the University of York and most recently at Loughborough University, where he is Professor of Conversation Analysis. He has had a number of visiting positions in Europe and the U.S. including most recently at the University of Huddersfield (UK) and Shanxi University, China.
