Individuals who share knowledge of past events may encounter different practical problems when engaging in the co-telling of those events. Drawing upon conversation analysis, this article investigates how co-tellers manage interpolated opportunities to initiate other-repair in collaborative storytelling. The analysis focuses on the placement of different repair operations on the story-in-progress and shows that co-tellers monitor the progressivity of the storytelling activity to identify proper places to initiate repair. Repairs that are initiated out of place can be oriented to as inappropriate and require more interactional work from participants. When tellers project the continuation of the story beyond a proper place, co-tellers display urgency for halting the story’s current trajectory, which shows their orientation to this moment as a last opportunity to initiate repair. This last possible point to repair the story-in-progress is what I call a “now or never” moment. Data stem from video-recorded collaboratively told stories in Spanish.

当它是“现在或永远”

分享过去事件知识的个人在共同讲述这些事件时可能会遇到不同的实际问题。根据对话分析，本文调查了共同讲述者如何管理插值机会以在协作讲故事中启动其他修复。该分析侧重于不同修复操作在正在进行的故事中的位置，并表明共同讲述者监控讲故事活动的进度以确定开始修复的适当位置。不适当的维修可能会被认为是不合适的，并且需要参与者进行更多的互动工作。当出纳员将故事的延续投射到一个适当的位置之外时，共同出纳员会表现出停止故事当前轨迹的紧迫感，这表明他们将这一刻定位为开始修复的最后机会。修复正在进行的故事的最后一个可能点就是我所说的“现在或永远不会”的时刻。数据来自以西班牙语协作讲述的视频录制的故事。
