In the result section, seven turn formats of other-initiated repair in both Sichuanese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin are introduced and one specific turn format—repeat format—is analyzed in detail. The result suggest that bare repeat formats and a-suffixed repeat formats serve different functions in these two dialects. In other words, repeat format without the a particle display nonalignment and bare repeat format serves as an understanding check in Taiwanese Mandarin, in contrast, a-suffixed repeat format is recognized as understanding check and repeat wit! hout a pa rticle display surprise, disbelief and nonalignment in Sichuanese Mandarin.en_US
