- Implicit rules govern conversations.
- Strategies are crucial for starting and maintaining conversations.
- Grammar is a key strategy for maintaining conversation.
Nomination
- Nomination is a strategy to collaboratively introduce a topic.
- When starting a new topic, use greetings, news, inquiries, and announcements.
- Keep the topic open for discussion until it naturally ends.
- This signals the start of a new topic.
Restriction
- Restriction involves limitations on what a speaker can say.
- Classroom, meetings, and social interactions often have specific rules.
- Examples include teachers' instructions or specific topic boundaries.
- Speakers should stay on topic to avoid communication breakdown.
Turn-Taking
- Turn-taking is the process of deciding who speaks and when.
- Conversation has a code where people take turns.
- Speakers should keep their contributions brief and acknowledge others.
- Avoid dominating the conversation by hogging the floor.
Topic Control
- Topic control manages how formality affects topic development.
- Formal settings (meetings) may have specified turn-taking rules.
- Casual conversations allow more flexibility in taking turns.
- Topics should be developed cooperatively, avoiding interruptions.
Topic Shifting
- Topic shifting is moving from one topic to another.
- The previous topic must be developed enough.
- Conversational transitions can help signal a shift.
Repair

- Repair mechanisms aid in understanding and correcting errors.
- Self-initiated repairs are done by the speaker experiencing the trouble.
- Other-initiated repairs are done by someone else.
