In this paper, using conversation analysis, I propose a model describing the technology of four repair operations, namely, recycling, replacement, insertion, and aborting relative to each other on the basis that they inherently halt the progressivity of the current turn-at-talk. As violating the preference for progressivity is a marked usage, interpreting the property of halting progressivity as a system of binary features in the case of the four repair operations enables us to apply the theory of markedness to describe the technology of the repair operations relative to each other. Testing the model has been possible only in an indirect way by setting up a sub-hypothesis. I have argued that not only their functions but also their degree of markedness plays a role in the selection of repair operations employed in carrying out the same action. I have tested the sub-hypothesis on a Hungarian corpus. The results support the hypothesis.
