This panel focuses on the study of word searches as interactional phenomena that affect the progressivity of turns, sequences, and activities. In contrast to cognitive approaches, which treat troubles in turn production, such as speech perturbations or hesitations, primarily as rooted in individual, cognitive processes (e.g. Levelt 1983; Goodglass et al. 1989), conversation-analytic research has investigated word searches as a particular type of repair (e.g. Schegloff et al. 1977) and emphasised
