In the shopping centre
Minnie : Ashley !
Hai
Ashley : Hai, Skinny Minnie ? ( 0,2)
Minnie : Where did you get that name ?
B. Turn taking
This mark is a scarce commodity called for the floor which can define as the right to
speak. Take control at any time is called turn. In any situation the control is not fixed in
advance, anyone can attempt to get control. This called Turn-Taking. This is a form of
social action that will manage the dialogue without monopoly.
Minnie : Ashley ! ( + ) Hai.
Ashley : Hai, ( + )Skinny Minnie ? (0,2)
Minnie : Where did you get that name ?
Turn taking as shown in these dialogue, there are some pauses marked with a plus sign
(+) and number (N) sign (0,N) show the time in the second, and sign (+) used when the
pauses in the sentences are not attributable to else because the speaker has completed a
turn. Sign (0,N) used if the speaker turn over to another and the other speaker doesn’t
speak.
C. Overlapping
In every conversation that consist of 2 or more participants taking turn, and one person
taking monopoly of turn. Smooth transitions from one speaker to the next seen to be
valued. Transitions with a long silence between turns or with substantial overlap ( both
speakers trying to speak at the same time). In this conversation there is only 1
overlapping between Kale and Ronald.
E. Back channels
Another type of floor holding device is to indicate that there is a larger structure to your
turn by beginning expressions. There are so many expressions to indicate that they are
listening while the conversations are taken place, such as: ‘uh-uh’, ‘yeah’, ‘mmm’,
‘humm’ provide feedback to the current speaker that the message is being received.
During face to face interaction, the absence of backchannels may be interpreted as a way
of agreement, leading to an inference of disagreement. In this conversation there is
backchannels that I got.
