This study presents a phonetic analysis of repetitions occurring in other-initiated re-pair sequences in American English. Despite their lexical similarities, the repairs are shown to have 2 distinct phonetic patterns. These patterns correspond systematically with a sequential and interactional difference between fitted and disjunct trouble source turns. Trouble source turns that are fitted are repeated more loudly and have expanded pitch ranges, longer durations, and changes to the articulatory settings. Trouble source turns that are disjunct are repeated more quietly and have nonexpanded pitch ranges, shorter durations, and no major differences in articula-tion. These turns may provide an example of a way in which the levels of linguistic organization are split, with reproduction of lexico-syntax handling a possible prob-lem in hearing, whereas the phonetics display an orientation to the sequential fittedness of the turn being repaired. This research highlights the interrelationship of phonetic structure and sequence organization. In naturally occurring talk-in-interaction we find many instances of self-repetition. Some occur as part of an other-initiated repair sequence, in which one party pro-duces a request for repair, and the other party to the conversation responds with a repairing utterance, as in the following: (1) SING 6045CHAm 1 A: → d’you sing noche de pa:z
