This paper examines the patterns found in repair-work behavior (e.g., apologies, excuses) in Austrian German as they relate to situational variables and cultural themes. Data for this study were collected from 100 Austrian university students using 12 closed role-play situations. The results reveal a complex interplay of situational variables that inform the repairwork behavior. This points to both research and teaching approaches that do not seek to determine a set of rules for repair work, but rather focus on the role that cultural attitudes and contextual factors play in making linguistic decisions.
