[Xmca-l] Repair in inner speech

[HENRY SHONERD]

For my doctoral dissertation on the developmemt of fluency in a second language, finished more than three decades ago, I found a lot data on self-repair. I was surprised today by something I never really thought of before: Is there self-repair in inner speech? (whether it be in a first or second). I found this on the internet:

"Levelt (1983) found that errors were often interrupted very quickly, even at mid-segment. The implication of such quick interruptions was that the speaker could not have detected the error while attending to his overt speech. Thus, Levelt (1983, 1989) proposed that speakers monitor their inner speech. According to what is known as the ‘main interruption rule’, when an error is detected, whether internally or auditorily, speech is immediately interrupted (Nooteboom, 1980; Levelt, 1983). This means that short error-to-cut-off intervals are to be expected.

"Thus in an incremental model of speech production such as Levelt’s, error-detection is followed by the decision to interrupt speech. This in turn is followed by the planning of the repair (repair- planning), which is thought to take place only upon interruption. If this is true, then short cut-off-to- repair intervals should not be anticipated. This is contrary to the short cut-off-to-repair intervals found by Blackmer and Mitton (1991), suggesting that repair-planning must have occurred before speech was interrupted. The question then remains as to when repair-planning is initiated.” (Detecting and Correcting Speech Repairs”, Peter Heeman and James Allen, 1994.) 

My question for anybody out there is this: Is there research on repair in inner speech in the CHAT universe?
