*On the Interactional Import of Self-Repair in the Courtroom***
Tanya Romaniuk and Susan Ehrlich, York University

How are certain conversational resources used for specific purposes in 
institutional talk? This talk provides insights into the analysis of 
interaction in the courtroom. It examines how repair, a resource 
commonly used in any interaction, is used in the courtroom in the 
service of institutionally-specific tasks and constraints.


  Susan Ehrlich (Professor, Linguistics and Women's Studies) has
  published in the areas of discourse analysis, language and gender,
  linguistic approaches to literature and second language acquisition.
  Her books include _Point of View: A Linguistic Analysis of Literary
  Style_ (Routledge 1990), _Teaching American English Pronunciation_
  co-authored with Peter Avery
  <http://dlll.yorku.ca/linguistics/People/peter.html>(Oxford 1992) and
  _Representing Rape: Language and Sexual Consent_ (Routledge 2001).

Tanya Romaniuk (PhD student in Applied Linguistics) has research 
interests in sociocultural linguistics, discourse analysis, conversation 
analysis, language and gender, institutional talk, broadcast talk, and 
political communication. She is currently writing her dissertation on 
the interactional analysis of laughter in broadcast news interviews.
