Document Summary
50% of all turns that occur in conversations are smooth. A smooth turn transition occurs when the floor switches from person a to person b without a perceptible pause these turns transitions occur in less than 250 ms. Cognitive multitasking (levinson, 2016; levinson & torreira, 2015) Floor switches are fast once we see there is an opportunity to speak we go for it. People must be anticipating and predicting the end of a speaker"s turn listeners plan their utterances while still listening to the speaker"s utterance. Simultaneous turns: when both people are trying to talk at the same time or hold the floor. Simultaneous talk: both people have an utterance but the goal of one uttering while the other is speaking is not to take hold of the floor. Speaker behaviors (1) turn yielding cues: give up floor (2) turn holding cues: keep the floor. Listener behaviors (3) backchannel communication: decoding listening (4) turn requesting cues: interrupting.
