This special issue reports on a cross-linguistic study of other-initiated repair, a domain at the crossroads of language, mind, and social life. Other-initiated repair is part of a system of practices that people use to deal with problems of speaking, hearing and understanding. The contributions in this special issue describe the linguistic resources and interactional practices associated with other-initiated repair in ten different languages. Here we provide an overview of the research methods and the conceptual framework. The empirical base for the project consists of corpora of naturally occurring conversations, collected in fieldsites around the world. Methodologically, we combine qualitative analysis with a comparative-typological perspective, and we formulate principles for the cross-linguistic comparison of conversational structures. A key move, of broad relevance to pragmatic typology, is the recognition that formats for repair initiation form paradigm-like systems that are ultimately language-specific, and that comparison is best done at the level of the constitutive properties of these formats. These properties can be functional (concerning aspects of linguistic formatting) as well as sequential (concerning aspects of the interactional environment). We show how functional and sequential aspects of conversational structure can capture patterns of commonality and diversity in conversational structures within and across languages.

This study sought to examine the effectiveness of two categories of feedback, namely recasts and prompts. Also, the study focused on the relationship between subsets of each feedback type and the extent to which they led to learner uptake and repair in an EFL context. Data were collected through non-participant observations of three intact upper-intermediate EFL classes where 36 hours of interactions among 59 students and three teachers were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed in terms of pre-specified coding systems that addressed four different subtypes of prompts – clarification requests, repetitions, elicitations, and metalinguistic clues – and two recast subtypes – explicit and implicit recasts. Data analysis showed that among prompts, clarification requests led to the highest percentage of uptake whereas elicitations were associated with the highest repair percentage. As for recasts, more explicit ones led to higher percentages of uptake and repair. The results of the study may contribute to a more in-depth understanding of the patterns of uptake and repair in an EFL context. The study confirms the role of feedback explicitness in such a context.

Since repetition is a natural phenomenon used to perform various functions in interactional discourse, adopting a pragmatic analysis to the discourse of Dr. Phil and his guests on Dr. Phil's TV show, this study attempted to explore the pragmatic functions of such repetitions as used by English native speakers. The data were gathered from conversations between native speakers of English, and based on 7 full episodes of Dr. Phil's TV Show. The researchers watched, and studied these episodes on YouTube. The study revealed that one of the salient features of TV discourse is repetition, which is employed to perform a variety of language functions. Repetition was used to express emphasis, clarity, emotions, highlight the obvious, be questionable, express annoyance, persuasion, express surprise, give instructions, and as a filler in order to take time, when the speaker was searching for a proper word to say what would come next. The study concluded that these findings had significant implications for EFL/ESL teachers and the interlanguage development of EFL/ESL learners.

Pair and group work activities break the traditional teacher-centred structures of interaction and partly transfer the control of the teacher to the students, who are provided with more freedom in turn-taking and the management of activities. In the study of how students learn the target language, pair and group work repair sequences are particularly important in order to understand how the participants repair the breakdowns in communication and what processes for acquiring a foreign language they use. This study explores the different ways that students conduct conversational repair, i.e. negotiation of meaning, during pair and group work. Specifically, focusing on the sequences when a dictionary was consulted, this conversation-analytic study examines how the students incorporate the dictionary in those sequences and how its possible presence might influence the roles of experts and novices in the interaction, which gives insight into the epistemic dynamics in learner–learner interactions. The data used for this study consist of carefully synchronized audio and video recordings of students from five different Czech upper-secondary schools in their final year of studies during three to five consecutive EFL lessons. One of the central findings is that the students often try to conduct the repair through different means and the dictionary is used later in the interaction, which could indicate that the use of a dictionary is viewed as a last resort to check the meaning with the dictionary entry, as well as a tool to strengthen and/or weaken the epistemic roles of the participants.

The article provides an overview of two approaches to the issue of repairs, especially self-repairs. After summarizing the main findings of work done in Conversation Analysis, the authors focus on the “syntax of repair”, i.e. the body of research which, though inspired by Conversation Analysis, concentrates mostly on the relationship between practices of doing self-repair and the syntactic and morphological features of a given language. Drawing upon the existing findings and a preliminary analysis of their own data, the authors establish the following objectives for the research on self-repairs in spoken Czech: a) to set up an inventory of both verbal and non-verbal initiators of self-repairs in Czech and to describe their usage, and in the case of verbal initiators, to verify whether this usage is affected by other meanings of the given expression, b) to describe the basic operations used in doing self-repair in Czech, and c) to find out to what extent the scope and structure of the repair segment (i.e. whether and how much of the linguistic context of the repairable is repeated or possibly modified) are influenced by the morphosyntactic features of Czech.

The aim of the article is to show that despite the apparent pessimism of the narration, reflecting the society in crisis, Michel Houellebecq’s narratives also provide valuable insights into how these crises can be overcome, which places them among the so-called “repairing” literary works. The analysis of the origins as well as of the stakes of the societal crisis and the way in which it resonates in the Houellebecquien universe constitutes the first part of the study and the starting point for a reflection on the role of the poetics of disorder in the reconciliation with oneself and with the world. The dispositions ensuring a better management of the critical phases – empathy, irony, humor – are present in Houellebecq’s works. A review of excerpts of two of his novels: The Possibility of an Island (2005) and Serotonin (2019) will provide us with a better understanding of how the possibilities offered by these tools are exploited by the author in his works.
FR
L’objectif du présent article est de démontrer que malgré le pessimisme apparent de la narration, témoignant d’une société en crise, les récits de Michel Houellebecq fournissent également des indications précieuses quant à la manière dont ces crises peuvent être surmontées, ce qui les situe parmi les ouvrages littéraires dits « réparateurs ». L’analyse des origines et des enjeux de la crise sociétale ainsi que de la manière dont celle-ci résonne dans l’univers houellebecquien constitue la première partie de l’étude et le point de départ de réflexions sur le rôle de la poétique du désordre dans la réconciliation avec soi-même et avec le monde. Les dispositifs assurant une meilleure gestion des phases critiques – l’empathie, l’ironie, l’humour – sont bien présents chez l’écrivain. L’examen d’extraits de deux de ses romans, La Possibilité d’une île (2005) et Sérotonine (2019), permettra de mieux comprendre comment y sont exploitées les possibilités qu’offrent ces outils.

Zadania stojące przed polityka mieszkaniową państwa powinny uwzględniacć prócz budowania nowych mieszkań problemy własciwego utrzymania i wykorzystania istniejących obiektów budowlanych. W rządowych programach funkcjonowania mieszkalnictwa należy racjonalnie uwzględniać remonty i modernizacje istniejących zasobów. Istotnym elementem działań powinny być przedsięwziecia termomodernizacyjne, ochrona środowiska oraz oparta na zasadzie partycypacji społecznej rewitalizacja miast. Ustawa z dnia 21 czerwca 2001 r. o ochronie praw lokatorów, mieszkaniowym zasobie gminy i zmianie Kodeksu cywilnego zobowiazuje gminy do tworzenia warunków do zaspokajania potrzeb mieszkaniowych wspólnoty samorządowej. Kierunki rozwoju mieszkalnictwa w gminie powinna wytyczać strategia mieszkaniowa, będaąca integralną częścią strategii rozwoju gospodarczego gminy. Lokalne strategie mieszkaniowe powinny uwzględniać problematykę remontów i modernizacji istniejacych zasobów budowlanych. Dostepną w Polsce literatura przedmiotu dotyczaca sanacji istniejącej substancji budowlanej jest bogata, dlatego celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na wybrane aspekty remontów i modernizacji powojennych zasobów mieszkaniowych, związane z jednoznaczną definicja problemu, cyklem życia obiektu budowlanego, przesłaniem tzw. Karty atenskiej, globalizacja gospodarki, a także uwarunkowaniami społecznymi. Obszar sanacji istniejącej substancji budowlanej wytworzył własną terminologię i słownictwo zawodowe, wykraczające poza ramy jezyka potocznego i istniejącej terminologii. W artykule przedstawiono próbe uporządkowania podstawowych pojęć związanych z sanacją powojennych zasobów mieszkaniowych w Polsce. Ważny dla problemu remontów i modernizacji istniejacych zasobów mieszkaniowych jest cykl życia obiektu budowlanego. W artykule przytoczono stanowisko w tej sprawie L. Kałkowskiego i J. Gorynskiego, naświetląjace m.in. zagadnienie utraty wartosci obiektów budowlanych, zużycia i wyboru momentu zakończenia użytkowania oraz „echa inwestycyjnego”. Rozpatrując problemy remontów i modernizacji powojennych zasobów mieszkaniowych w Polsce, należy wspomnieć o uchwalonej przez IV Kongres Architektury Nowoczesnej CIAM (Les Congrès Internationaux de l'Architecture Moderne) w 1933 r. w Atenach Karcie ateńskiej. Przygotowana pod przewodnictwem Le Corbusiera Karta ateńska analizowała środowisko mieszkaniowe mieszkanców wielkich miast, wytyczała nowoczesne zasady projektowania urbanistycznego, umożliwiajacego tworzenie w miastach racjonalnej i zdrowej przestrzeni życia. Na kształtowaniu rozwoju mieszkalnictwa wyciska piętno globalizacja gospodarki, w tym uwzględnianie wpływu procesów zachodzacych w kraju i za granicą na traktowana lokalnie gospodarke przestrzenną. Istotna jest cecha globalizacji polegająca na świadomej lub podąwiadomej unifikacji zachowań ekonomicznych i społecznych, w tym związanych z modelem potrzeb mieszkaniowych i konsumpcji lub poziomu techniki i technologii. Nowa fala rozwarstwienia społeczeństwa, rzutuje na potrzeby zgłaszane na rynku nieruchomości mieszkaniowych, zwłaszcza w zakresie: – położenia jednostki osadniczej; – standardu jednostki osadniczej, jej wyposażenia w infrastrukturę techniczna i społeczna, a także standardu powierzchniowego, technicznego i wyposażenia poszczególnych obiektów budowlanych; – standardu eksploatacji, utrzymania i bezpieczenstwa danej jednostki osadniczej i poszczególnych obiektów. Zachowania rynkowe inwestorów sa wyznaczane przez czynniki lokalizacyjne nieruchomosci. W centralnej części miast liczba nieruchomości gruntowych niezabudowanych, przeznaczonych w planach zagospodarowania przestrzennego dla budownictwa mieszkaniowego jest ograniczona. Świadomi konsumenci i inwestorzy wiedzą, że odpowiadająca im nieruchomość w wielu przypadkach jest tzw. dobrem rzadkim, możliwym do nabycia tylko w określonym czasie i na warunkach dyktowanych przez rynek. W przypadku nieruchomości, zwłaszcza luksusowych, w zachowaniach rynkowych liczą się również konkretne preferencje konsumentów i inwestorów, moda, snobizm i prestiż (w tym ostatnim przypadku mamy do czynienia z tzw. paradoksem Veblena, stanowiącym wyjątek w prawie popytu). Ważne są również długookresowe prognozy gospodarcze i polityczne, a w skrajnym przypadku zachowania spekulacyjne. Coraz częściej posiadanie mieszkania lub firmy oraz prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej w sródmieściu historycznego miasta jest swoistym symbolem pozycji społecznej i wyznacznikiem osiąganej efektywności ekonomicznej. W wielu przypadkach aspiracje te mogą zostać zaspokojone tylko poprzez sanacje i dostosowanie do nowych potrzeb istniejacej substancji budowlanej. Na rynku mieszkaniowym mamy również do czynienia z lokatami nieruchomościowymi. Polega to na zamianie wolnych środków pieniężnych na atrakcyjne zdaniem inwestora parcele budowlane i tereny, a także domy lub mieszkania, stanowiące relatywnie bezpieczną formę lokowania kapitału. Powoduje to, że rynek nieruchomości popytowo coraz cześciej wiązany jest z rynkiem kapitałowym.

In addition to constructing new dwellings, tasks faced by the housing policy of the state should also concern problems of proper maintenance and utilisation of the existing housing stock. Government housing programmes should rationally include repair and modernisation of the existing stock. Thermal modernisation projects, as well as environmental protection and renewal of cities based on the principle of social participation should be essential elements of any action in that field. The Law of 21 June 2001 on the Protection of Tenants' Rights, Commune's Housing Stock and change of the Civil Code obligates communes to create conditions for fulfilling the housing needs of local government communities. Directions for housing development within the commune should be set out by the housing strategy, which is an integral part of the commune's strategy of economic development. Local housing strategies should give consideration to the issues of repair and modernisation of existing housing stock. The professional literature, which is available in Poland, and which concerns the sanification of the existing building substance is abundant Therefore, the goal of this paper is to draw attention to the selected aspects of repair and modernisation of the post-war housing stock, related to an unambiguous definition of the problem, message conveyed by the socalled "Chart of Athens", globalisation of economy, as well as social determinants. The area of sanification of the existing building substance has created its own terminology and professional vocabulary, which go beyond the framework of everyday language and existing terminology. The article presents an attempt to put straight basic notions related to the sanification of the post-war housing stock in Poland. Another issue, which is important for the problem of repair and modernisation of the existing housing stock, is the life cycle of a building structure. The paper quotes the positions of L. Kałkowski and J. Gorynski, who explain, among other things, the question of the loss of value by buildings, their wear, and selection of the moment in which to end the use of buildings, as well as the "investment echo". When considering the problems of repair and modernisation of the post-war housing stock in Poland, one should mention the Chart of Athens, which was adopted by the 4th Congress of Modern Architecture CIAM (Les Congrès Internationaux de l'Architecture Moderne) in 1933 in Athens. The Chart of Athens, which was prepared under the guidance of Le Corbusier, analysed the living environment of large city dwellers, and established modern rules of urban planning to enable the creation of rational and healthy life space in cities. The development of housing is branded with economy globalisation, including consideration that is given to the impact of nationwide and worldwide processes on spatial economy, which is viewed from a local point of view. An essential feature of globalisation consists in conscious or subconscious unification of economic and social behaviours, including also those connected with models of housing needs and consumption, or of the levels of engineering and technology. The new wave of social stratification impinges on needs communicated on the housing property market, especially as regards: – location of a settlement unit; – standard of a settlement unit, its furnishing with technical and social infrastructure elements, as well as surface area, technical and furnishing standards of specific buildings; – standards of operation, maintenance and safety of a given settlement unit and its particular objects. Property location factors determine market behaviours of the investors. In central parts of cities, the number of undeveloped land properties, designed for housing projects in zoning plans is limited. Conscious consumers and investors know that the property which suits their needs is in many cases the so-called rare good, which can be acquired only in a specific time moment and on conditions imposed by the market. In the case of properties, especially those luxurious ones, these are also specific preferences of consumers and investors, fashion, snobbery and prestige that matter in their market behaviours (here we have come across the so-called Veblen's paradox, which is an exception to the demand law). Also important are long-term economic and political predictions, and, in extreme cases, speculation activities. It happens more and more often that owning a flat or business located in the city centre and running one's business there is a sort of symbol of one's social position and a determinant of achieved economic effectiveness. In many situations, those ambitions can be satisfied only by the renewal of the existing building substance and adjusting it to new needs. We also encounter real estate investments on the housing market, when free capitals are exchanged for attractive (in the investors' opinion) building plots and areas, as well as houses or flats, which constitute a relatively safe form of capital investing. This causes that, as far as demand is concerned, the property market is more and more often linked with the capital market.
