Research on conversational repair in Conversation Analysis over the past several decades has documented a wide array of turn formats that can be used for other-initiations of repair (OIR) across languages. This study contributes to this expanding body of research on OIR turn formats by describing previously undocumented types of OIR formats observed in Japanese talk-in-interaction. I discuss two related, yet distinct types of OIR formats that both include the negative construction X ja nakute, which is roughly translated as “Meaning that it’s not X”.
