Recorded 19th December 2011 at Loughborough’s Conversation Analysis Day. The theme for that years meeting was “Asymmetries in Interaction”.

He specifically focuses on moments which halt progressivity and initiate repair, exploring how the phonetic design of repair targets the inappropriateness of the turn.
