This research is entitled “CONVERSATION ANALSIS IN ELLEN SHOW WITH BARRACK OBAMA”. The objectives of this research are to identify the types of repair and repair operation. As well to describe the realization and explain why such types of repair used in talk show. The data of the research is the utterances of the participants. The source data is the video and transcripts in the Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to Merriam-Webster‟s dictionary (1990), “talk show is a radio or television program in which usually well-known persons engage in discussions or interviewed. The theories applied many attempts to discuss and analyze.The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative adopted qualitative data analysis procedures proposed by Miles. The types of repair and repair operation by (Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks 1983:341).The result showed,(1)self initiatedself repair sowed 20 times in this research, following the others self initiated other repair appear 2 times, other initiated other repair appears 1 times, and the last none of other initiated self repair was found. (2) Therefore for the repair operation replacing appears 3 times, inserting 6 times, deleting 2 times, sequence jumping 2 times, parenthesizing 2 times, recycling 1 times, reformatting 1 times, reordering 1 times none of searching and aborting found in this research. (3) Self initiatedself repairis found dominantly in this research. The finding of the research is, there are 4 kinds of repair and 10 repair operation, but there is only 3 of 4 kinds of repair an d 8 of 10 repair operation found in the talk show.

INTRODUCTION
I.I Background Of the research
People communicate with other is called conversation. Conversation is the main means of our daily communication. Communication is the intercourse by words, letters or messages. According to Meyer (2002:2)we can now proceed to define communication from what we have seen above, to define means to give the precise and exact meaning of a word. Communication is giving, receiving or exchanging ideas, information, and messages through appropriate media. The exact meaning of the word communicate is to share ortoparticipate. Blanchot
(2010:2) Communication is the process of transmitting information and common understanding from one person to another.
Conversation is the oldest form of communication. On its development, linguists found that conversation is an interesting object to be observe since there are patterns and phenomena during its occurrence deserve to analyze.
Conversation analysis, as noted by Liddicoat (2007:5) is an approach studying talk in interaction. It studies the organization and orderliness of social interaction.
To analyze conversation interaction between two people or more the appropriate theory known as Conversation Analysis (CA). According to Gardner (1990: 263)
CA is one of a number of approaches to the study of spoken language.Conversation Analysis is one of the main courses in linguistics. Turn
1
Universitas Sumatera Utara taking, adjacency pairs, preference organization, sequence organization, and repair are a field of study under the scope of conversation analysis.
The main idea of this research is repair. According to Golab (2000:157)
Repair is the name given to periods of talk in everydaytalk in which miscommunications rise, are notedand then resolved. Commonly these repair sequences occur in the talk immediately following the miss communication and take up conversation turns until they have been resolved.The analysis of repair, on the other hand, cannot be a parted from what so called conversation. Therefore, the researcher believes that conversation analysis is the most relevant approach to investigate repair phenomena.
Related in this study, talk show can be regarded as a particular kind of face-to-face conversation. Talk show can be the best way to analysis the “repair”, the types and the operation, by (Schegloff, Sacks, Jefferson, 1977). The talk show can be considered a modern Anglo-Saxon version of the above kinds of conversations occurring in semi-institutionalized social-cultural practices. It has emerged as a public extension of the private field of casual conversation, which works to narrow the gap between the public conditions of the media and the private conditions of the people. The more natural the conversations run, the better the data gained.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show (often shortened to and stylized as Ellen) according to Ellen official website EllenTv.com Ellen is an American television talk show hosted by comedian/actress Ellen DeGeneres. Debuting on September
8, 2003, it has produced by Telepictures and airs in syndication, including stations
2
Universitas Sumatera Utara owned by NBC Universal, in the United States and Canada. The show has won 36
Daytime Emmy Awards as of 2013. On January 20, 2016, it was announced that the show had been renewed for 3 additional seasons through 2020.As of June
2016; the talk show's YouTube Channel was charted as the fourteenth-most- subscribed YouTube Channel. The program combines comedy, celebrity, musical guests, and human-interest stories.
1.2 Research Question
Based on the explanation above, the following are the question for this present research:
1. What types of repair are used by the participants in the talk show The Ellen
DeGeneres Show?
2. How are the operations of repair realized by the participants in the talk show
The Ellen DeGeneres Show?
3. Why are such types of repair found dominantly in thetalk show The Ellen
DeGeneres Show?
1.3 Objectives of the Research
In line with the formulation of the problems, the objectives of this research are:
1. to identify the types of repair employed by the participants in the talk showThe
Ellen DeGeneres Show , and
3
Universitas Sumatera Utara 2. to explain the operation of repair completion uttered by the participants in the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show
3. to investigates why such types of repair found dominantly in thetalk show The
Ellen DeGeneres Show
1.4 Scopes of the Research
In order to keep the research stay in track and focus, the scope of the study should be formulated.
Firstly, this research focuses on the types of repair uttered by the participants in the conversation, in this case Ellen and Barrack Obama. The researcher investigates all phenomena of repair, which occur in the conversation of the talk show.
Secondly, every occurrence of repair certainly grouped to an operation. To maximize the discussion, the researcher focuses on the operation of repair as well.
As a result, several patterns of repair invented. In accordance to this fact, it is clear that there are still capacious spaces for further investigation in this field.
Therefore, the researcher is interested in conducting the same attempt in a different language, in this case English.
Third and the last scope, besides there are 4 types of repair, there are only one types of repair which is found dominantly in this analysis.
1.5 Significances of the Research
1. The Researcher
4
Universitas Sumatera Utara This study is necessary for applying the theories of linguistics derived from the lectures during the time of the study. The researcher gets more knowledge about conversation analysis.
2. Readers
This research expected to make the readers of this thesis know about aspects of conversation within a dialogue. The researcher wants to help the readers to understand more about repair in conversation.
3. University of North Sumatera
It expected that this research would be part of literature in the institution of

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In this chapter describes the theories, which has employed in conducting the research. The theories include the notion of conversation analysis and the scope under conversation analysis study, such as: turn-taking, adjacency pairs, preference organization, sequence organization, and repair a brief explanation about talk show.
2.1 Conversation Analysis
Conversation is a form of communication, which had applied largely by human beings in their daily social interaction. Conversation is fundamental for human beings interaction because it is a way for human beings to interact and connect with each other. Liddicoat (2007:1) states that through conversation, human beings interact with other people and develop social relationship in daily lives. Conversation in human beings daily interaction is a naturally occurring phenomenon. It happens spontaneously and randomly. Due to its features, the phenomenon of daily conversation has caught much linguists‟ attention. Some linguists later develop a study of daily conversation to enable people to study daily conversation through its linguistic feature, that is, conversation analysis.
In addition, conversation analysis views how participants deal with conversational phenomena, such as, turn-taking, adjacency pairs, preference organization, sequence organization and repair
6
Universitas Sumatera Utara Turn Taking
Turn taking is a basic and fundamental organization in conversation.
Liddicoat (2007:51) states that it is a normative process in a conversation. When a participant takes the floor, s/he has a right to speak at a time (A) and the other participant naturally becomes the hearer (B). After the speaker stops, the hearer takes the role as the speaker (A). As the conversation keeps going, the organization of speaker‟s change recurred. Therefore, Levinson (1983:296) states that the turn-taking pattern in a conversation is A-B-A-B-A-B.
In their journal entitled Simplest Systematics for Turn-taking, Sacks et al.
(1974:716) propose two ways to decide the next speaker: they are „current selects next‟ and „self-selection‟. The „current selects next‟ operates with a speaker gives an addressed question or uses a tag question to select the next speaker.
Questioning someone is considered effective to select the next speaker. Different from „current selects next‟, in the „self-selection‟ technique, a speaker acts as the starter. A speaker selects him/herself and takes the turn to start the conversation.
For example:
Sharon : You didn't come to talk to Karen?
Mark : No, Karen- Karen and I are having a fight, after she went out with
Keith and not with (me).
Ruthie : hah hahhahhah
Karen : Well Mark, you never asked me out.
(Sacks et al., 1974:717)
7
Universitas Sumatera Utara The example above shows that Sharon is the starter in the conversation, which means that she uses „self-selection‟ technique. After she selects herself as the starter, she addresses a question to Mark. Therefore, Sharon employs a „self- selection‟ technique and „current selects next‟ technique.
Adjacency Pairs
In conversation analysis, an adjacency pair is a two-part exchange in which the second utterance is functionally dependent on the first, as exhibited in conventional greetings, invitations, and requests, also known as the concept of nextness. Gardner (2000:263) an adjacency pair is a type of turn-taking. It is generally considered the smallest unit of conversational exchange.
Adjacency pairs have a number of core features, which can be used by way of a preliminary definition. They (1) Consist of two turns (2) by Different speakers, (3) Which are placed next to each other in their basic minimal form, (4)
Which are ordered and (5) which are differentiated into pair types. The first two features are rather straight for- ward, but the latter three require more explanation.
(1) question-answer
John: What time's it?
Betty: Three Uh clock.
(2) greeting-greeting
Amy: Hello.
Jean: Hi.
(3) summons-answer
Terry: Hey Paul,
8
Universitas Sumatera Utara Paul: Uh yeah
(4) Telling-accept
John: I' ve jus' finished my las' exam.
Betty: that‟s gre;at.
Liddicoat (2007:107)
In each of the examples above, the first turn of the pair initiates some action and makes some next action relevant. The second turn responds to the prior turn and completes the action which was initiated in the first turn. These two turns together accomplish an action. Liddicoat (2007:107)
Preference Organization
Levinson‟s General Pattern of Preferred and Dispreferred Structure
FIRST PART Request Offer/Invite Assessment Question Blame
SECOND PART
Preferred: Acceptance Acceptance Agreement Expected Denial Answer
Dispreferred: Refusal Refusal Disagreement Unexpected
Answer or Non-answer
According to Levinson, there are two preferences asecond part or speaker has to give response to the first speaker namely preferred and dispreffered. Both are contrary to each other. For example, if thefirst part is requesting, the preferred
9
Universitas Sumatera Utara second part is tend to accept, while the dispreferred second part is on the other hand refuse.
Sequence Organization
The notion of sequence organization is based on the premise that the central consideration for the organization of talk is that talk is a form of social action. This example also leads to another issue which is important to sequence organization. The discussion regarding sequence organization will be divided into four sub discussion namely pre-sequences, insertion sequences, opening, and closing sequences. Liddicoat (2007:106)
1) Pre-sequences
Certain utterances are usually being precursors to another utterance (Mey, 1994:
221). These utterances which serve as precursors to the others are what the linguists called pre-sequence..
A: What are you doing this Friday? (= pre-invitation)
B: Hmm, nothing so far. (= go ahead)
A: Come over for dinner. (= invitation)
B: Oh I‟d like that. (= accept)
(Yule, 1996: 67)
2) Insertion Sequence
Typically, in the middle of conversation, a participant urges to greet, order, ask a question, request for information, which practically having anything to do with
10
Universitas Sumatera Utara the topic of the exchange (Mey, 1994: 223-224). These urges, then, initiate the emergence of insertion sequence.
Man : You know the new film that‟s on in the Odeon?
Woman: Yes?
Man : Do you want to go and see it tonight?
Woman: What time does it starts?
Man: Eighty thirty-five
Woman: Yeah, why not?
Cutting (2002: 30)
3) Opening and Closing Sequence
A conversation, according to Liddicoat (2007: 213), does not just happen and then stop. As other things in conversation, the beginning and ending of a conversation have structures. Cutting (2002: 30) writes that openings tend to contain a greeting, an enquiry after health, and a past reference. Brenda: Hi, Lee.
Lee : Hi. Hi Jean.
Jean : Hi. Hi.
Brenda: How are you?
Lee : Not bad. I‟ll be in, in a minute.
Cutting,(2002: 30).

Universitas Sumatera Utara 2.1.1 Repair
Repair refers to the processes available to speakers through which they can deal with the problems which arise in talk. The idea of repair has already been raised several times in the preceding discussion, as repair is relevant to all levels of talk from the turn-taking system to sequence organization and preference. All levels of conversation are potentially subject to difficulties and conversation as a self-regulating system needs to have available practices for dealing these. Repair is itself a mechanism of conversation: a set of practices designed for dealing with the sorts of difficulties which emerge in talk. Like other aspects of the conversational system, the practices of repair are independent of the nature of the thing which needs to be repaired.Liddcoat (2007:171)
Levinson (1983: 341) suggests the phenomena under the notion of repair.
They are word recovery problems, self-editing where no discernible (able to be seen) error occurs, and correction problem. Furthermore he explains that repair sequence is initiated by some reason including a request for information, and an apology. An example of repair initiated by the force of an apology seen as follow:
A: So, I was trying to pick up this chick when…
B: Excuse me, did I hear that right?
A: Awfully sorry, I mean, woman…
A: Pick up?
B: Awfully sorry, I mean, me
(Mey, 1994: 227)
12
Universitas Sumatera Utara 2.1.1.1Self-initiated self-repair
In most of the time, repair is initiated by the speaker of the trouble source.
In self-initiated self-repair, current speaker stops what s/he is saying to deal with something which is being treated as a problem in what s/he has said, or started to say, or may be about to say.
The example is as follow:
Anna: Oh so then he is coming back on Thur[pause] on Tuesday
(Liddicoat, 2007: 175)
The speaker of the utterance above seems to make no error at all. If the sentence is completed with the last word Thursday, it is still a grammatically and semantically correct sentence. However, the information she delivers to her interlocutor is realized to be false. Then, she cuts off her utterance. Pause in her turn, indicates a repair initiation. The next step, she proposes a solution and completes the repair at once by replacing the trouble source Thurwith a correct word Tuesday. It is a typical of a self-initiated self-repair; the speaker repair his/her own utterance that seems to have no error.
2.1.1.2 Self-initiated other-repair
Sometimes in between the conversation, when people are in the middle of an explanation, they forget something essential that needs to be mention. It can be a name of people, place, or time. In fact, people often get lots of word; so they ask for help to their speaking partner to find a suitable or correct word that they need.
People frequently employ question words what, where, when to get an answer from their partner, such as:
13
Universitas Sumatera Utara A: He had this uh Mistuhw- whatever k- I can' t think of his name,
Watts on, the one that wrote [that] piece,
B: [Dan Watts]
(Schegloff via Liddicoat, 2007: 180)
There are two participants involve in the conversation above. The first speaker shows that he loses of word by saying „I can‟t think of his name‟. This question is an indirect signal for the conversational partner to help him finishing his utterance by finding a correct reference to what he refers to. In this case, the speaker wants his partner to mention a correct name of a person whom they both know.
2.1.1.3 Other-initiated self-repair
The most common way in which the interlocutors deal with trouble in speaking, hearing or understanding is by initiating a repair. Bolden via Kitzinger
(2013: 249) states that they will initiate a repair and leave the opportunity to provide the repair solution to the speaker of the trouble source. This means that other-initiated repair usually involves a short sequence which then interrupts the ongoing action in which the participants are engaged. In the conversation below the acknowledgment about the information required is delayed by the inserted repair sequences.
A: Have you ever tried a clinic?
B: What?
A: Have you ever tried a clinic?
B: No, I don‟t want to go to clinic.
14
Universitas Sumatera Utara (Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks 1983:341)
The first speaker in the conversation above needs to know whether the interlocutor has ever been tried a clinic or not. However, because of mishearing, the answer of the question is delayed by the inserted repair sequence. Then, after the repair solution is uttered, the first speaker obtains an answer. They include
(starting from weak to strong): open class forms (e.g. Sorry? Pardon? Huh?
Excuse me? What?).
2.1.1.4 Other-initiated other-repair
Other-initiated other-repair usually shows interactional modifications which affect the turn shape of the conversation in which other-repair is found
(Liddicoat, 2007: 211). The dialogue below is an example:
Joy : Kerry is no good. She is having a fight with Sally.
Harry : You mean Sarah, don’t you? Those two are always fighting.
(Liddicoat, 2007:190)
Joy becomes the trouble maker in this repair when he mentions a name of a girl,
Sally. The name that he mentioned is considered an error because the actual girl who always had a fight with Kerry is Sarah. The second speaker notices this error and tries to repair it by benefiting his turn wisely. Though called as other-initiated other-repair, there are several cases in this repair sequence in which the initiation is absent.
2.1.2 Repair Operation
In performing repair, the participant employs a certain strategy or operation to initiate and complete the repair. There are 10 repair operations that
15
Universitas Sumatera Utara can be employed in the conversation. The 10 repair operations are developed by
Schegloff. Schegloff proposed ten repair operations. They are replacing, inserting, deleting, searching, parenthesizing, aborting, sequence-jumping, recycling, reformatting and reordering.
2.1.2.1 Replacing
Replacing is a repair operation which is commonly used in conversation.
In replacing, the speaker of the trouble source substitutes the whole utterance or only a part of the articulated utterance. Although some elements of the utterance are substituted, the speaker needs to maintain the sense „this is the same utterance
(Schegloff, 2013:43). Replacing does not require the same linguistic object or grammatical object as the substitute for the trouble source. The speaker can replace the trouble source with a synonym or antonym or s/he may change a word into a phrase and vice versa. In addition, the speaker of the trouble source usually repeats the previous utterance which precedes the trouble source to help the recipient locate the trouble source.
For example:
Erma : Did he- did you hear what he said told Lisa that they were considered the cutest couple in the class.
(Kitzinger, 2012:235)
The example above shows that Erma replaces the word „said‟ with „told‟.
She replaces the word with another word which is synonymous.
2.1.2.2 Inserting
16
Universitas Sumatera Utara Inserting is the second repair operation. Wilkinson and Weatherall
(2011:71) in Kitzinger (2012:237) define inserting as a repair operation which modifies the utterance yet still maintains the original formulation of the utterance.
Rather than deleting or replacing an element of the utterance, inserting adds a new element in the utterance. When initiating repair, the speaker of the trouble source cuts-off the word or makes a sound stretch before inserting the new element.
Inserting material can modify the talk or the utterance in 2 ways (Kitzinger, 2012:
237). First, the speaker of the trouble source inserts a new element such as, word, term, phrase, etc., to specify the original reference. Second, the inserted materials aim to intensify the meaning of the original formulation.
For example:
Rit : And it‟s all really down to me because nobody, you know my
Clt : Mmm
Rit : My husband- my husband is now petrifi- completely petrified.
(Wilkinson and Weatherall, 2011:81 in Kitzinger, 2012:238)
The example above shows that Rit tells her friend about her husband who somehow feels frightened. In the example, it shows that Rit stops the production of the word “petrified‟ and inserts the word ‘completely‟ before the word
“petrified‟. She inserts the new word in order to intensify the meaning of the modified word.
2.1.2.3 Deleting
Deleting is third repair operation. Deleting refers to a repair operation in which the speaker of the trouble source tends to delete an element or all elements
17
Universitas Sumatera Utara in the utterance. Deleting operates with the speaker of the trouble source cuts-off the elements of the current articulated utterance. After cuts-off the articulated word, the speaker of the trouble source recycles the word preceding the deleted word and the continues the production of the utterance
For example:
Bee : So she told me of a place on Madison Avenue and Sevendy Ninth Street.
Ava : Mmm
Bee : Go and try there. Because I als- I tried Barnes and Nobles and, they did
not have anything.
(Kitzinger, 2012:233)
In the example above, Bee cuts-off the production of the word „also‟.
Later, Bee recycles the word preceding the deleted word and then continues the production of the utterance.
2.1.2.4 Searching
Searching is the fourth repair operation. Searching is employed when the speaker needs to produce a precise term, that is, a term which does not have an easy substitute, such as a person's name, a place, a business, etc. It is also employed to produce a delicate term, i.e. a term used to soften the real meaning of a word in order to show propriety (Kitzinger, 2012:233). Usually, searching is characterized with the speaker pausing the production and trying to recall the particular term.
For example:
18
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Joy : Why don‟t you go into Westwood, and go to Bullocks.
Stan : Bullocks? You mean that one right umm, tch! Right by the
umm,what is the Plaza? Theater.
Joy : Uh huh
(Kitzinger, 2012:233-4)
In the example above, Stan wants to name a Plaza but he forgets the name of the Plaza. He pauses the production of the utterance twice in order to recall the name of the Plaza and eventually finds it. The sentence „what is the Plaza‟ is a marker of searching.
2.1.2.5 Parenthesizing
Parenthesizing is the fifth operation. Parenthesizing is a repair operatio which is almost similar to inserting. Both inserting and parenthesizing add a new element in the utterance. However, the inserted element in parenthesizing has different function. Instead of inserting a new word, parenthesizing inserts a clause to the ongoing utterance. This repair operation aims to give more impact to the thing described by the speaker (Schegloff, 2013:52).
For example:
Debbie : It‟s not the case, Mark‟s not going
Shelley : ...... I‟ll just go and then, uhm, you know this- this two bandit
thing have, that were doing. He wants me, I- I dont know if I told
youthis, he wants us to come out to his house and do like spend a
19
Universitas Sumatera Utara whole day putting everything together cause we dont get the shit
done while were at work
(Schegloff, 2013:51)
The example presented above is a conversation between Debbie and
Shelley. In the middle of the production, Shelley shows awareness whether she already told Debbi about the thing she is going to say. The clause „I don‟t know if
I told you this‟ is a parenthetical talk.
2.1.2.6 Aborting
Aborting is the sixth operation. Aborting is an operation of repair where the speaker stops the production of the utterance and leaves it incomplete. In other words, the speaker of the trouble source abandons the ongoing utterance.
Schegloff (2013: 56) states that abandoning in aborting can work through 2 ways.
Firstly, „abandoning‟ is followed by another attempt to achieve completion.
Secondly, speaker abandons the whole utterance and gives up the production without achieves completion.
For example:
Sherrie : Who was the girl that was outside?
Mark : Debbie
Sherrie : Who‟s Debbie?
Mark : She‟s just that girl that, uh, I met her through uhm, I met her
in Westwood. I caught that...
(Schegloff, 2008 in Kitzinger, 2012: 224)
20
Universitas Sumatera Utara From the example above, it can be seen that Mark‟s answer to Sherrie‟s question contains aborting. He is aborting his utterance twice. At first, he tries to describe Debbie but then he aborts the utterance. Then, he wants to say how he met Debbie but again he aborts his incomplete utterance and chooses to tell
Sherrie that he met Debbie in Westwood.
2.1.2.7 Sequence-jumping
Sequence jumpingis the seventh repair operation. In sequence jumping, the speaker of the trouble source abandons the utterance and suddenly changes the utterance into something, which is completely different from and unrelated to the previous utterance. In other words, the speaker of the trouble source may launch a new sequence as the act of repair. Also, s/he may address his/her interlocutor‟s previous utterance which is considered to be the start of a new sequence
(Schegloff 2013:56).
For example:
Frieda : You know what we‟regonna- in fact I‟m- she- I haven‟t seen her
since I spoke to you but I‟m going to talk to- what are you
making?
Kathy :It‟s a blanket
(Schegloff, 2013:56)
21
Universitas Sumatera Utara 2.1.2.8 Recycling
Recycling or it is also called repetition is the eighth operation. It is a repair operation in which the speaker of the trouble source is re-saying some part of the previous utterance. Recycling can occur without changes or it can occur with some additions or deletions.
For example:
Rubin : Well thee uhm they must have grown a culture. You know
theymust‟veImean how lo- he‟s been in the hospital for a few days,
right? Takes abouta week to grow a culture
Kathy : I don‟t think they grow a, I don‟t think they- grow a culture to
do abiopsy.
(Schegloff, 2013:59)
2.1.2.9 Reformatting
Reformatting is the ninth repair operation. This operation is related togrammatical issue. In reformatting, the speaker may change the format of theutterance. S/he can change the WH-question into Yes/No question or change declarative sentence into a negative interrogative sentence. This repair operation also enables the speaker of the trouble source to reverse the reformed utterance. It meansthat the speaker once reforms the utterance and later reverses it and reforms it backinto the previous form.
Bee : So, I got some lousy courses this term too
Ava : Cool, huh
Bee : Hmmm
22
Universitas Sumatera Utara Ava : W- When‟s your uh, whe- you have one day only have one
course, huh?
Bee : Monday and Wednesday. That‟s my
Ava : That‟s
Bee : Linguistics course
(Schegloff, 2013:62-3)
The example above is the dialogue between Ava and Bee. They talk about the coursesand schedule on the new term. The example above shows that Ava tries to ask Beeabout her schedule.
2.1.2.10 Reordering
Reordering is the tenth repair operation. Reordering is an operation which is usually used by the speaker of the trouble source to reorder the elements in the ongoing utterance. The speaker of the trouble source performs reordering when s/h notices that the utterance does not come out as it should be. The elements reordered by the speaker can be words or a turn.
For example:
Bea : Oh- he‟s still hopeful
Rse : The husband
Bea : Ah hah, and you never just- you just never saw such devotion in your life
(Schegloff, 2013: 65)
23
Universitas Sumatera Utara 2.2 Relevant Studies
Siadari (2013) in this study, the writer analyzes a talk show program,
HitamPutih, which had aired in Trans 7. Therefore, it is interesting to know how the host uses some kinds of Politeness Strategy to talk to the guest who are
„famous people‟ in order to avoid the FTA. These researches also use conversation analysis from Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977). The methodology is, the main data is from the talk show, not only about conversation analysis theory, this research use politeness strategy as the comparison. The writer found 2 (two) utterances using Bald on Record Politeness Strategy, 3 (three) utterances using
Negative Politeness Strategy, 11 (eleven) utterances using Positive Politeness
Strategy, and 1 (one) utterance using Off Record Politeness Strategy. 2. The writer found that the most frequent of the use of the kind of Politeness Strategy by the host is Positive Politeness Strategy. There are 11 (eleven) utterances using
Positive Politeness Strategy. 3. The writer did not find the utterance using Not Do the Face Threatening Act in talking to the hearer. The contribution of this research to the writer is this research also becomes the other reference to analyze about conversation analysis, which also politeness is also the part of conversation analysis. The difference or research gap of this research is that, Siadari research only focuses of politeness in conversation analysis, while this research focuses on repair in conversation analysis
Siahaan (2014) this research formulates the pattern of turn-taking of conversation in traditional wedding ceremony in three speech situations. This research applies descriptive qualitative method. Field data, documentation and
24
Universitas Sumatera Utara direct observation had carried out. The content of the utterances containing turn taking had verified to the expert of marhata. The analysis based on the content and sequence to find the recurring patterns using conversation analysis approach.
Similar to conversation analysis in the Ellen show with Barrack Obama. This research also uses Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977) Conversation analysis as theory of the research. Different with Conversation Analysis in the Ellen show with Barrack Obama, which is focuses on all the utterances of conversation analysis, this research only focuses on to one of the utterances of conversation analysis that is turn taking and the patterns.
Rheisa (2014) in this research the writer analyze the repair in conversation analysis. The writer only focuses to one of the utterances of conversation analysis, which are repair and the pattern. The source of the main data is from the Oprah
Winfrey show with Michael Jackson. This research uses the Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977) conversation analysis theory and use descriptive qualitative method as the main method of the research.The research employed a descriptive- qualitative methodinwhichdescriptive data had produced. Bungin states that a descriptive qualitativeresearch uses theory to lead the research before collecting the data. The conclusions of this research could draw as follows. Self-initiated self-repair is the most often appearing type in the conversation between Michael and Oprah in The Oprah Winfrey Show.It occurs 55 times. This condition seems normal since the participants in the talkshowThe Oprah Winfrey Showare aware of their own-making error in most ofthe time. The contribution this research gives is gives another explanation about repair and pattern. The difference or research gap
25
Universitas Sumatera Utara is that Rheisa analyze about repair and the pattern, while this research analyze about repair and the operation.
Kendrick (2015) this research describes the formats and practices of other- initiations of repair attested in the corpus and report their quantitative distribution.
In addition to straight other-initiations of repair, the identification of all possible cases also yielded a substantial proportion in which speakers use other-initiations to perform other actions, including non-serious actions, such as jokes and teases,
Preliminaries to dispreferred responses, and displays of surprise and disbelief.
This research applies descriptive qualitative method. This research also Analysis the utterances of Conversation analysis by Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977).
The result is the distinction had made between other initiations that perform additional actions concurrently and those that formally resemble straight other- initiations but analyze do not initiate repair as an action. Different with conversation analysis in the Ellen show with Barrack Obama, this research focuses to one of the utterances of conversation analysis, which is repair. There are 4 types of repair. This study only focuses to one of the types of repair, which is other in initiated repair. The data gained from the daily conversation of the student.
Oluyemisi (2016) the uniqueness of this research, however, lies in the analysis of Turn-Taking in Yorùbá conversation in juxtaposition with Sacks et al.„s Turn-Taking which focuses only on how interlocutors take turns in American
English conversation. The subject of this research is the audience of Mìnìj j , a weekly Yorùbá discussion programmed which airs on Africa Independent
26
Universitas Sumatera Utara Television (AIT) on Sundays between 1pm and 2pm. The audience comprises of speakers of major Yorùbá dialects like the Ìj bú, Ìjèṣà, gbá, Èk t , b d n and
O d dialect. This research use Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977) conversation analysis theory as the main theory of the research. This research also analyzes one of the utterances of conversation analysis as the main problem that is turn taking. These researches also find some unique aspect of the conversation.
Research applies descriptive qualitative method. Turn Taking is an important aspect of any conversation because it helps to ensure that order had maintained at all times. As such, interlocutors try as much as possible to speak one person at a time so much so that even when there are instances of interruptions and overlaps, they quickly revert to the status quo of one interlocutor holding the floor at a particular period. The contribution of this research is that this research tells more about conversation analysis as the main problem. The difference or research gap is that Oluyemisi only focuses about turn taking while this thesis analyze about repair.
2.3 Conceptual Framework
In this research, the researcher uses conversation aspects, which refer to partridge theory. The theory had applied to view how the conversation analysis aspects in the talk show between the speakers. In relation to conversation aspects, to conduct this research, a descriptive-qualitative approach employed. The researcher applies theory of conversation analysis by Schegloff, Jefferson, and
Sacks (1997) which is the utterances of conversation analysisturn taking, adjacency pairs, sequence organization, preference organization, and repair to
27
Universitas Sumatera Utara analyze in the conversation among the participant in the talk show Ellen show with Barrack Obama.
In order to complete to conversation between the speaker, they both uses some aspects of conversation analysis, to create an interesting and entertain talk between the speaker, because normally in some talk show they have the audience who watch it live and sometimes they communicate with the audience. In this study, the language between the speakers used among the talk show will be analyzed in the area of conversation analysis aspects.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Design
This research employed a descriptive-qualitative method in whichdescriptivedatahad produced. Patton (2002:3) Qualitative research is characterized by its aims, which relate to understandingsome aspect of social life, and its methodswhich (in general) generate words, rather than numbers, as data for analysis states that a descriptivequalitative research uses theory to lead the research before collecting the data.The results of the data analysis of repair phenomena in theconversation among the participants in the talk showpresented in theform of lingual units, e.g. words, phrases, sentences, rather than in the form ofnumbers.
By using the qualitative research, this study are intended to find and describes the utterances of conversation within the conversation between Ellen as the master of ceremony (MC) and Barrack Obama as the guest star in the Ellen show.
3.2 Data and Source of the Data
The data of this research were in the form of utterances uttered by the participants in The Ellen DeGeneres Show, i.e. Ellen and Barrack Obama. This is in line with Bungin (2007: 103) who states that qualitative data are in the forms of sentences, utterances, and short stories. A datum had always started from an utterance in the conversation, which contains trouble source.The researcher
30
Universitas Sumatera Utara obtained the data from the transcript of conversation among the participants in
The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The data of this research were collected by watching the talk show video namely The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The researcher selected an episode ofThe
Ellen DeGeneres Show, a special episode with Barrack Obama the former president of United States of America for 10 years. This episode last for about 60- minute duration but only takes 20 minutes for interviewing Barrack Obama. The researcher got the video of the talk show by downloading it on the internet.
3.3Techniques of Collecting Data
Vanderstoep and Jhonston (2008: 189) state that there are four typesofdata collection techniques. They are interviewing (face-to-face-question and answer process), ethnography observation (observing people enactingculture), analysis of documents and material culture (written text or culturalartifacts), and visual analysis (e.g., interpretation of mediated communicationtext such as films or television programs).
The steps of the data analysis were as follows: watching the video ofthe talk show, examining the transcript of the conversation, making datasheets, and categorizing the raw data into the data sheets. The data collectionhadstarted by watching the video of the talk show in order to find repairs inthe conversation among the participants in The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Secondly, the researcher examined the transcript of the conversation in thetalk show, which she found on internet. Finally, data sheetsused to record allinformation, which had gathered by watching the video were created.The data
31
Universitas Sumatera Utara in this research had gained from the utterances of theparticipants in the talk show,
Ellen and Barrack Obama.
3.4 Techniques of Analyzing Data
According to Miles and Huberman (1994:10), analysis can be defined as consisting as three current flows of activity that is data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. In this research, the researcher use Miles and
Huberman‟s theory in analyzing the data, so there are three steps to do, they are:
1. Data Reduction
Data reduction becomes the first steps to do in analyzing the data in this research. According to Miles (1994:10), data reduction refers to the process of selecting, focusing, simplifying, abstracting, and transforming the data in written up field note or transcript. In this research, the data is in the form of video and transcription of the talk show the Ellen DeGeneres Show with Barrack Obama.
Based on Miles theory, in this step the researcher firstly analyzing the data by watching the talk show video, listen carefully and checking the data by reading the transcription to see the context, next, the researcher selecting the sentences or utterances by the participants. After that, the researcher categorizes the data based on four categories of repair and makes summaries to make easy in analyzing the data and continuing the next steps.
2. Data Display
The second steps data display. According to Miles (1994:11), generally a display is an organized, compressed assembly of information that permits conclusion drawing and action. In this step, the researcher shows or displays the
32
Universitas Sumatera Utara data, which is, contains the repair and repair operation, not only as generally but
also specifically and clearly. The researcher shows which sentences or utterances
contains repair and repair operation, what categories of repair in that sentence,
how the repair operation utterances by the participants and why the repair isfound
dominantly in the talk show.

3. Conclusion Drawing
After finished doing data reduction and data display, the last steps to analyze the data in this research is drawing conclusion. According to Miles
(1994:11), conclusion may not appear until data collection is over, depending on the size of the corpus of field notes; coding storage and retrieval methods of the funding agency, but they often had been prefigured from the beginning even when a researcher claims to have been proceeding inductively. In this step, the
34
Universitas Sumatera Utara researcher concludes the result of the research based on the research problems and repair theory that are use.

Universitas Sumatera Utara CHAPTER IV
DISCUSSIONS AND FINDINGS
This chapter divided into two main sections namely research findings and discussion. Research findings present all findings of repair investigation in the conversation of the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The data served with the frequency of repair presented by the participant‟s in The Ellen DeGeneres
Show. Furthermore, detail explanation regarding the research findings presented in research discussion. In this chapter, the answer of the research problems revealed.
They are types and patterns of repair uttered by the participants in The Ellen
DeGeneres Show.
This part divided into two sections. They are types of repair and repair operations in the Ellen DeGeneres Show with Barrack Obama.
Types of repair in the Ellen DeGeneres Show with Barrack Obama
All four types of repair proposed by Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks in
1977.They were self-initiated self-repair, self-initiated other-repair, other-initiated self-repair, and other-initiated other-repair However, as seen in the table, the frequency of occurrence of each type is different. In the conversation between
Ellen and Barrack Obama in the Ellen DeGeneres Show.Self-initiated self-repair is on the highest rank with a relatively huge difference if compared to the rest of other types. It followed orderly by other initiated self-repair, other-initiated other- repair, and self-initiated other-repair on the last place.

Universitas Sumatera Utara Repair operations in the Ellen DeGeneres Show
On the other hand, from ten patterns of repair operation proposed by
Schegloff (1977). They were replacing, inserting, deleting, searching,
parenthesizing, aborting, sequence jumping, recycling, reformatting, and
reordering. Inserting is the repair operation that occurs most often in this
investigation.

4.1 Discussion
4.1.1Types of Repair inthe Ellen DeGeneres Show a. Self-initiated self-repair
39
Universitas Sumatera Utara The participants in the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show seem like they notice their own-making error in most of the time. Therefore, they act as the repair initiator and completer of the repairs themselves. As the result, self- initiatedself-repair became the type of repair that occurs most often in the conversation between Elle and Barrack Obama self-repair is a type of repair that often happens without a discernible error such as grammatical or syntactic error.
In the previous conversation, Barrack Obama answered Ellen about the presidential and Washington, Barrack Obama answered that he want to leave
Washington, and then the audience and Ellen starts laughing. When delivering her thought Ellen look a bit shocked by Barrack Obama answer. It can be seen from the following examples:
Ellen :Oh, that‟s aI would think so, I mean really.
Ellen somehow not ready to give her comment about Barrack Obama‟s answer “oh, that‟s a”, and then Ellen repair it by herself, by saying “I mean really”, what is mean that Ellen is the one who repair her own words before someone else did and she makes a repair at the first word and then she repaired by herself at the end of the words. This also the part of self initiatedself repairs.
At the beginning of the talk show, Ellen asks Barrack Obama about the leaving the Washington and the presidential. Barrack Obama said he wants to leave Washington and the audience start laughing and he wants to make another explanation about his choice but he is not ready when delivering his thoughts.
40
Universitas Sumatera Utara Obama : Ohya…no well but then i
It is clearly stated as the self-initiated self-repair, because in the end
Barrack Obama itself who repair his words and he stops at the “oh ya” and then continue his words by sating “then i”. It shows that he does not intend to abandon his sentence by not finishing it. In fact, Barrack Obama intends to conduct a repair to fix his error, serve a sentence, which contains incomplete information.
Therefore, this repair is considered as a self-initiated self-repair.
In the previous conversation, Ellen asks Barrack Obama how he feels to be a president for the first time and what surprise him the most. After Barrack Obama answer the question, Ellen want to respond what the president say, but when delivering her thought Ellen is caught not finishing her words. The following is one of the examples of self-initiated self-repair.
Ellen : That, I that‟s that‟s everybody hope, but let‟s talk about me, I
feel like don‟t you think if more people dance.
Ellen feels not so ready to give comment of Barrack Obama‟s earlier answer, so Ellen repeat the word “That, I that‟s that‟s”, and then she repaired by her own and then continue speak again by saying “but let‟s talk about me”.
Before someone else did, Ellen fix her own repair to not make the other speaker and audience confuse by changing the topics.
41
Universitas Sumatera Utara In the middle of the conversation, Ellen asks Barrack Obama about his wife. For a second he looks like he thinking about something before answering
Ellen question and it is true that he makes his repair, self-initiated self-repair.
Obama : you know a, a, after 15 years I finally figure out that, a she‟s
always right So then surprisingly we‟re just stop fighting after that.
When Barrak Obama answer Ellen question, he wants to say, “After” but when delivering his thought he makes a repair “a, a, after “at the third time he succeeded to say “after” and then continue his words again and finally delivered his thought well by saying “I finally figure out”. It clearly that he makes his own repair than make a self-correct by his own, which is why it is called self-initiated self-repair.
At the previous episode of the Ellen show, Ellen invited Michelle Obama, the wife of Barrack Obama. At the previous episode with the first lady, Ellen has some push up race with Michelle Obama. Ellen shares some story about it to the president. Ellen shows some self-initiated self-repair when delivering her thought.
Ellen : well. She‟s a cheater you know that, but when you talked about
her about the pushed up I‟m I‟m not I‟m not lying, I‟m not
gonna tore you about it anymore, but she‟s a cheater, see see look
how down far I went.
42
Universitas Sumatera Utara The words, I‟m I‟m not I‟m not lying, I‟m not gonna” show‟s a self- initiated self-repair. Ellen repairs her on words and continues to talk. At the end of her words, she makes another repair. The words “see see look how down I went”and Ellen repair her words by self-initiated self-repair. Barrack Obama as the second speaker did not try to repair what Ellen said, that is why it called self- initiated self-repair. b .Self-initiated other repair
In self-initiated other repair, the participants who are involved in the conversation share the act of repair initiation and completion. Ellen ask Barrack
Obama about the Washington and the presidential, in the previous talk, he said he want to go out of the Washington, but then he make the repair, self-initiated other repair. The following is an example of self initiated other repair:
Obama : Oh ya, no well but then i
Ellen : But you are not kidding
Obama :I‟m a kind of not kidding
In the first line Barrack Obama feels don‟t really sure about what he‟s talking, and then Ellen make a statement which might Barrack Obama want to say by saying “but you are not kidding”, and Barrack Obama somehow agreed, and say the same meaning as Ellen does “I‟m a kind of not kidding”. This kinds of conversation is one of the self initiatedself repair, what is mean is that other people help to make a repair.
43
Universitas Sumatera Utara
Unlike the self initiatedself repair, the self initiated other repair is rarely happened in the conversation. The other self initiated other repair happened in almost the same time as the first one. The following is an example of self initiated other repair.
Ellen : People just want a good quality of life and that we have these
people that feel one way someone feel another way, we tends to
hate them, and and it just really…
Obama : that‟s not helpful
Ellen : that‟s not helpful
Unlike the first one, this time Ellen who does the self initiated other repair.
In the end of her words, when delivering his thought, somehow doesn‟t‟ know what to say again, and asking for help. Barrack Obama as the other speaker help her to finish her words, by to say “that‟s not helpful” and then Ellen repeat it again. This is also one of the self initiated other repair.
c. Other initiated-other repair
The initiation usually seen in the form of interruption, i.e. taking the floor of the current speaker who considered making trouble.An example seen below.
They are watch a video from the last time Michelle Obama in the Ellen show as the guest star, and the video Is about a push up race between Ellen and Michelle
44
Universitas Sumatera Utara Obama. Ellen said that Michelle is cheat on her. The conversation between Ellen and Barrack Obama contain other initiated other repair. An example seen below.
Ellen : no, no, no, not as far down as me, look!
Obama : I mean those are good, you have a good form
Ellen : I have a better form than her and I and I
Obama : you have a good form
Ellen tries to explain that she was far down rather than Michelle Obama in the push up race, but then Barrack Obama said, Ellen is good enough and have a better form, by repeating Ellen words “you have a good form”.
4.1.2Repair Operation in the Ellen DeGeneres Show
a. Replacing
Replacing often employed in the utterance when the speaker experiences misapplied words, grammatical errors, or slips of the tongue. Replacing enables the speaker to substitute a word with a new word or a phrase in his utterance and avoid a possible misinterpretation.
The example of replacing presented in the datum below.
Ellen : I am so, because she did not go down all the way and the she claimed she has longer arms and so she‟s, listen, it was very impressive that she kept going but she didn‟t go down as far as me.
45
Universitas Sumatera Utara Ellenand Barrack Obama watched a video from the episode with his wife
Michelle Obama, about push up race between Ellen and Michelle Obama. Ellen tries to make an argument about the video. However after she‟s saying‟ a word and then deleting it. Make new Utterances, “and so she‟s” replacing thenbecomes
“listen”.

Parenthesizing, a speaker in a conversation expected to deliver the intended meaning of his/her utterance properly. The speaker also has to make sure
50
Universitas Sumatera Utara that the recipient understands the utterance. However, sometimes an utterance does not come out to be as informative as it should be. Parenthesizing employed in an utterance when the utterance needs additional information in order to make it more informative.
The speakers in the talk show employ parenthesizing to give an elaboration or an explanation of a certain term. By employing parenthesizing, the speakers show their awareness whether the recipients know the term or not.
The following datum serves as the first example of parenthesizing.
Ellen : So, you don‟t want to get any of these anymore.
Obama : No you know, I was told a while back then, I just won a million
miles on air force one and I ask is there any free com. Flyer plane?

Ellen have not finished her utterances and began with a new structure utterance,” I are thank you enough”. By employing parenthesizing, she wants to make sure that the recipients clearly understand his utterance.
e. Sequence Jumping
Sequence jumping is the seventh repair operation. In sequence jumping, the speaker of the trouble source abandons the utterance and suddenly changes the utterance into something, which is completely different from and unrelated to the previous utterance.
Here is the example of sequence jumping:
Ellen : I mean what the biggest surprise for you, when you become the president what surprise you the most?
Ellen launch a new sequences as the act of repair, also Ellen address her interlocutor‟s previous utterances, which considered the start of a new sequence.
52

Ellen creates another repair operation, sequence jumping. Ellen address her interlocutor‟s previous utterances, which considered the start of a new sequence. f. Recycling
Recycling is a repair operation, whichemployed by the speaker when s/he is suddenly unable to produce the intended ideas. Recycling done with the speaker of the trouble source repeating the utterance. By repeating, the speaker can delay the utterance and this gives him time to continue the utterance. In other words, the utterance can be continued without having abandoned by the speaker.
The first example of recycling presented in the datum below.
Ellen : And said everyone takes everything so seriously, and I think that
we have this, you know people that , hmm I‟m kind a kidding but
obvious but I think we have people we all that have the one thing
in common which is we just want a good quality of life.
Obama : Right.
The marked words show she repeats the previous unfinished utterance. In the second attempt, she interrupts her own utterance once again before its completion. After that, she repeats her utterance once again and continues the
53
Universitas Sumatera Utara utterance. By employing recycling in her utterance, Ellen can continue her previous utterance without abandoning it due to overlapping talk.
g. Reformatting
Reformatting employed to change the format of an utterance grammatically. Reformatting can be employed in the utterance to change a perspective of an utterance. In the talk show, reformatting employed to change the format of an utterance grammatically. It means that, the speakers employ reformatting to reformat a WH question into a YES/NO question and vice versa.
Obama : Well that‟s a, that‟s one thing I proud of this stuff because my hope political career been based on the idea that, we constantly we wanted include people not exclude them, and how to we bring more more people in opportunity in success, and Feeling hopeful about their lives and the… but I would say we, we‟re driving over that, I mean to say that… I said to my staff I said it do as much as we done for the lost and shuddering one Changing hard their mind so much I don‟t think anyway more in fluencies than that you all that I really mean it That‟s a that‟s the truth And so… the a You‟re courage and you‟re just relievable and so as soon as, so you being willing to claimed who you are then suddenly empower other people And then suddenly your brother, it‟s your uncle, it‟s your best friend, it‟s your coworkers and then attitudes shift and the Lost followed but it started with folks like you
54
Universitas Sumatera Utara The marked words shows that Barrack Obama reformatting his utterances
“but I would say we” becomes “we‟re driving over that”.
h. Reordering
Reordering one of the characteristics of daily conversation is that it happens spontaneously. Due to its characteristic, the speaker often cannot plan the utterance s/he is going to say thoroughly. As the result, the elements in the utterance may be less-organized. Reordering is employed by the speaker to deal with the unorganized elements in the utterance. Reordering helps the speaker of the trouble source to re-organize the elements in his/her utterance. In the talk show, both the host and the guests perform reordering as the strategy of repair. It proves that the speakers are aware that they make mistakes with the order of the elements in their utterances.
Below is the first example of reordering.
Ellen : Well they have a great parents, you both you and Michelle are
really really amazing, Michele is such a strong wonderful role
model for all woman and she has been a great first lady.
Obama :I agree, that‟s I agree that!
Barrack Obama reformatting his utterances from “I agree” becomes “ that‟s I agree that!
55
Universitas Sumatera Utara 4.2 Findings
In this research, there are 4 kinds of repair and 10 types of repair operation.Therefore, according to the discussion and question of the research, the researcher found some findings.
1. Based on the first question, what types of repair are employed by the
participant in the talk show, Ellen DeGeneres Show. The answer of the
question is therefore, there are four types of repair by Schegloff (1977)
Self-initiated self-repair, self-initiated other repair, other initiated self-
repair, and other initiated other repair. The participant in this talk show,
Ellen and Barrack Obama, after about 20 minutes of the talk show, the
participants showed some repair. The repair itself, Self-initiated self-
repair, self-initiated other repair, and other initiated other repair. None of
other initiated self-repair found in this research. Self-initiated self-repair
showed 20 times in this research, following the others self-initiated other
repair appear 2 times, other initiated other repair appears 1 times, and the
last none of the other initiated self-repair was found.
2. Based on the second question of the research. How are the operations of
repair realized by the participants in the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres
Show? The method is almost the same with first question; the participant
also uttered some data, which is included as the part of repair operation by
Schegloff (1977). They are replacing, inserting, deleting, searching,
parenthesizing, aborting, sequence jumping, recycling, reformatting, and
reordering. Therefore for the repair operation replacing appears 3 times,
56
Universitas Sumatera Utara inserting 6 times, deleting 2 times, sequence jumping 2 times,
parenthesizing 2 times, recycling 1 times, reformatting 1 times, reordering
1 times. None of searching and aborting found in this research.

found dominantly in the talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show? The
dominant types of repair, which found in this research is self-initiated self-
repair. Self-initiated self-repair is the types of repair, which the one, who
makes repair, is the one, who repair the utterances that is why this kinds of
repair found dominantly in this research. In talk show, there are no written
rules so the participant often makes repair and the participant also ne the
one who repair it.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
5.1 Conclusions
Based on research findings and discussion, the conclusions of this research
Could be drawn as follows:
1. Concerning the first objective of the research,
According to the first objective of the study to find the type of repair in the talk show. The Ellen DeGeneres show with the guest star the 44 President of

3 of 4 kinds of repair found in this research.
Self-initiated self-repair is the most often appearing type in the conversation between Ellen and Barrack Obama in The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It occurs 20 times. This condition seems normal since the participants in the talk show are aware of their own-making error in most of the time. Self-initiated self-repair is a type of repair which usually occurs without a discernible error such as grammatical or syntactic error. In most cases, the error is only inside the speaker‟s mind. Additionally, self-initiated other repair occurs 2 times in this talk show.
Self-initiated other-repair only appears twice. This type occurs because the speaker is at loss for words and needs assistance from his speaking partner. Infact, the participants in the talk show The Ellen De Generes Show seem ready to have such conversation and master the topic of the conversation. Therefore, the chance for self-initiated other-repair type to occur is limited.
58
Universitas Sumatera Utara Other-initiated other-repair is a type of repair in which both repair initiation and completion are done by other party. It occurs one times. This kinds of repair is in the last having a small number of occurrence. This type of repair usually employed by other party to make sure that s/he interprets the speaker‟s utterances correctly.
Other initiated other repair, is the type of repair, which have the last number in the rank, the research.
2. Concerning the second objective of the research,
The second objective of the research is to identify the repair operations. In line with the second objective, the research findings show that among 10 repair operations, only 8 operations employed by the speakers in the talk show Ellen
DeGeneres Show. They are replacing, inserting, deleting,parenthesizing, sequence jumping, recycling, reformatting, and reordering. Among 10 repair operations, inserting is the most occurring operation and it has the highest frequency of occurrence. Inserting is often employed by the speakers in the talk show whenthey experience slips of the tongue. The findings also show that inserting is employed to avoid a possible grammatical error.
The findings show that searching does not occur in the talk show.
Searching is employed in the utterance when the speaker suddenly unable to remember the intended word in the middle of production.

59
Universitas Sumatera Utara incomplete. In other words, the speaker of the trouble source abandons the ongoing utterance.
