Types and functions of repetitions in the narrations of Turkish sperkers of French

Söylem analizi araştırmaları, tekrarın çeşitli türleri ve işlevi olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışma 83 Fransızca öğrencisinin söylemindeki tekrarları inceleyerek tartışmaya katkıda bulunur. Tekrar, bir dilin konuşmacısının konuşmayı veya diyaloğu geliştirmesine ve sürdürmesine yardımcı olur ve hem anadil konuşmacıları hem de anadilden olmayan konuşmacılar tarafından en çok kullanılan iletişim stratejisidir. Bu çalışmada ele alınan veriler Fransızca öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin hem sözcük hem de sözcük grubu seviyesindeki tekrarları zaman kazanmak ve/veya önceki konuşmayı düzeltmek amacıyla kullandığını göstermiştir. Aynı zamanda gerek zaman kazanma gerekse tamir amaçlı olsun sözcük grubu (GS) tekrarlar sözcük seviyesi (SS) tekrarlardan daha fazla kullanılmıştır.

Research in discourse analysis has revealed that there are various types and functions of repetitions. This study adds to this discussion by examining the repetitions in the discourse of 83 learners of French. Repetition helps the speakers of a language to develop and maintain a conversation or speech; and is one of the mostly employed communication strategies by both native and non-native speakers. The data discussed in this study reveal that Turkish speakers of French employ repetitions both at word and group levels with the aim of stalling and/or repairing previous utterances. The study also suggests that either for stalling or repairing, group level (GL) repetitions were observed to be employed more frequently compared to word level (WL) repetitions.
