Summary:	For Query: Linguist 11.420 Dear Fellow Linguists, about ten days ago I sent a question to the linguistlist about a quote regarding the clustering of self-repair. Many thanks to all who responded: Liz Shriberg Jakob Ladefoged Rob Philburn Ilkka Arminen Mie Femoe Some colleagues pointed me to Schegloff (1979), who found that like self-repair, repair-initiation can occur anywhere in the turn that, however, there are locations in which a concentration of repair-initiations and thus repairs are observed. This was not exacly what I was looking for. Very helpful was the following reference: Shriberg, E. E. (1994). Preliminaries to a theory of speech disfluencies. Doctoral dissertation, University of California, Berkeley. She found: 1. that self-repairs tend to co-occur and 2. that the most likely position for a self-repair to occur is within the repairing phase of another self-repair. Shriberg calls it 'synergy effect'. Thanks again for replying to my question, Caroline Lea Rieger
