Abstract: Within the training setting, supervisors may tell their apprentice clini cians not to use the word okay too often during therapy. While analysing two videorecorded, individualized therapy lessons involving an ASHA-certified speech-language clinician, okay was frequently found in the speech of the therapist. It was discovered that okay served a variety of releasing and evaluative functions, within various levels of the discourse, which appeared to manifest role differences between the therapy lesson participants.
