F. Trustworthiness of the Data

According to Burns 1994:294, the best way to achieve trustworthiness is through triangulation. Hence, the data of the research were triangulated by relevant theories and sources. The researcher employed Schegloff and Zhang ’s theories related to repair phenomenon. The researcher also had routine consultation with her two thesis supervisors. Moreover, the researcher discussed with her classmates in order to gain credibility of the theory and the findings as well as the transcript of the conversation in the first five episodes of Ellen DeGeneres Show season 11.
