Abstract
This research is a conversation analysis study which focuses on the analysis of repair as reflected in the talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, a special episode with Michael Jackson. The objectives of the study are: (1) to investigate the type of repair, and (2) to identify the pattern of repair employed by the participants in the talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method since the findings were presented in narrative or textual description. The data sources of the research were the transcript of conversation and the video of the special episode of the talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show. This episode was considered special since the duration is longer than the ordinary episodes. This research applied triangulation technique to check and establish validity. The research reveals two things. First, the 72 repairs uttered by the participants in the talk show The Oprah Winfrey Showbelong to four types, i.e. self-initiated self-repair, self-initiated other-repair, other-initiated self-repair, and other-initiated other-repair. Self-initiated self-repair is employed most often, i.e. 55 times. This result seems plausible since in most cases the participants in the talk show The Oprah Winfrey Shownotice their own-making error and tend to repair the error themselves. Other-initiated self-repair is ranked second since it appears 12 times. This type occurs for mishearing, non-hearing, or misunderstanding experienced by the interlocutor. The remaining two, otherinitiated other-repair (3 times) and self-initiated other repair (twice), are rarely employed, and therefore they are ranked the lowest. Second, there are ten patterns applied to deliver repair completions. Reorganization is the most-often pattern occur in the talk show, i.e. 13 times. Since the participants in the talk show often have long speeches, the information they delivered are sometimes not properly arranged. Reorganization is best employed because it enables the speaker to adjust the sequence of the messages in his utterance. Some other patterns to complete repairs are employed quite often as well. They are elaboration (10 times), abandonment (9 times), exemplification (8 times), and replacement (7 times). Both specification and completion appear 6 times. Likewise, both modification and rewording occur 5 times. Repetition is ranked the lowest; it appears 3 times.
