ASEAN — Gp1 : 122
- FBrun = female from Brunei
- MThai = male, from Thailand
FBrun : so how <1> how </1>
MThai : <1> i i mean </1>
FBrun : do you find the course so far (1.3)
MThai : mmm?
FBrun : how did you find this this course that we <2> did </2> so far?
MThai : <2> erm </2> (.) actually it it's an it's an (.) a very in- intensive course
Discussion: It seems that MThai was not listening at the time FBrun asked the question, so he did not hear it clearly. Note the pause of 1.3 seconds — the others were waiting for him to respond, so he was unable to let it go, and he was forced to ask for clarification.
