Summary/Abstract: Speakers do not produce ideal speech. They hesitate, interrupt their speech, repeat certain parts of utterances and make mistakes in different manners. When they make mistakes speakers quite often repair them. In this paper the sample of 200 selfrepairs extracted from 140 minutes speech sample collected from 12 radio broadcast talks in which participated 30 speakers was analysed. The results showed that the rate of selfrepairs is one selfrepair per 42 seconds and that the following four cathegories of errors and selfrepairs are quite frequent: mistakes in execution of articulatory programm (30%), wrong retrival of the word (21%), propositional and syntactic mistakes (21%) and errors in morphological agreement (15%). Other cathegories of mistakes (search for precision, anticipatory rush, searching for an exact data, rejecting of the needless, wrong morphological formation) are less frequent.
