The interactional role of repair in conversations have long been of interest to conversation analysts. The objective of this study is to examine the types of repair and their strategies in the Ahvazi Arabic and Persian conversations. The population of the study consisted of 100 participants, including 50 Ahvazi Arabic speakers and 50 Persian speakers, selected through convenience sampling from individuals aged 20 to 50 residing in Ahvaz. After recording the participants' everyday conversations, the data were transcribed, and the instances of repair were identified based on the model. The findings from 283 minutes of Persian conversations and 240 minutes of Arabic conversations indicate a high frequency of self-initiated self-repair in both groups. It was observed that the participants in both languages predominantly used non-lexical initiators in the form of speech cut-off. Additionally, the data revealed that Arabic speakers used seven repair strategies, i.e. replacing, searching, recycling, deleteing, inserting, paranthesizing, sequence jumping. However, Persian speakers employed nine repair strategies of replacing, searching, recycling, deleteing, inserting, paranthesizing, reformatting, reordering, and sequence jumping. Furthermore, the strategies of replacing, recycling, and searching were used with high frequency in both languages, while the strategy of sequence jumping had the least usage. The findings of the present study corroborate the notion that the general principles of repair are universal, but the observation of differences across different languages is not unexpected.
