Tartalmi kivonat:This paper explores the use of the non-lexical schwa-like sound öö in three Hungarianself-initiated same-turn self-repair phenomena, namely, searching, replacing, and searching converted into aborting. Sinceself-repair inherently prevents the turn from progressing towards possible completion, by deploying the non-lexical öö in the course of the three repair operations, speakers can vocalize and promise continuation withoutproducing lexical elements. Öö thus serves as a delaying technique and an indication that the speaker is aware ofthe obligation to make the unit-under-way recognizably complete, and is ready to satisfy this obligation. When theturn-in-progress is halted and verbally marked with öö in the course of the three repair operations underinvestigation, the speaker displays to the other participants that the turn is problematic in some respects, but she is ready toattend to the problem in order to produce a recognizably complete action.
