 note = {The present study aims to investigate how reformulation is employed by
native speakers of English in "Larry King Live," an American talk show, and to obtain suggestions for teaching reformulation in English class. For this purpose, a corpus of 2,400,000 English words was made and 508 reformulation samples were obtained. Next, an analysis was given to show the relationship between original utterances and reformulated ones. The result of the analysis shows that reformulation in the talk show falls into two categories: reformulation based on linguistic resources and reformulation based on inference. The former consists of two subcategories: concept level reformulation and predicate/argument structure level reformulation. It follows that there are three levels of reformulation: concept level reformulation, predicate/argument structure level reformulation, and inference level reformulation. It is finally argued that English teachers should be acquainted with these three levels of reformulation and that they should be presented systematically in class according to the learners'proficiency.},
