CONVERSATIONAL TURNS
Probably the most (1 ) recognized conversational convention is that people take (2 ) speaking But how do they know when it is their turn? Some (3 ) must be present, otherwise conversation would be continual breaking down into a disorganized jumble of interruption and simultaneous talk
Turn – taking cues are usually quite subtle People do not simply (4 ) talking when they are ready to yield the floor They usually signal in advance that they are about to conclude The clues may be semantic ( “ so anyway, “ or “ Last but not least, ”); but more commonly the speech itself can be modified to show that a turn is about to (5 ) – typically, by lowering its pitch, loudness ,or speed
Body movements and patterns of eye (6 ) are especially important While speaking ,we look at away from our listener in about equal (7 ) ; but as we approach the end of a turn, we look at the listener more steadily
Listeners are not passive in all of this Here too there are several ways of (8 ) that someone wants to speak next One way is though an observable increase in body tension – by learning forward or producing an audible intake of breath
A less subtle approach is simply to (9 ) - a strategy that may be tolerated , if the purpose is to (10 ) what the speaker is saying , but that more usually leads to social disapproval
