Abstract

Huang's (1999) Neo-Gricean pragmatic model talks about the basic distributional pattern of anaphora in conversation and anaphoric repairs. This article used the Huang's model in analyzing ten telephone conversations from the International Corpus of English - Philippines (ICE-Phi). Analysis was done using the grounded theory and the relational theory and correlational research. Results show that the four anaphoric repairs formulated by Huang are involved in all the chosen conversations, which illustrate that Philippine English also adheres to the structure and pattern formulated by Huang in his pragmatic model. Although different types of anaphoric repairs occur for each conversation, the study proves that though discourse is a very complex phenomenon, there will still be a similarity to how participants continuously assess referents pertained in conversations.
