Repair strategies to breakdowns in everyday interaction by Malay children with repaired cleft
Repair to conversational breakdowns is important so that mutual understanding between speakers can be restored. Strategies to repair may include but not limited to repetition of trouble source, addition or deletion. However, repair work requires speakers to be equipped with necessary linguistic and...

Repair to conversational breakdowns is important so that mutual understanding between speakers can be restored.
