CMN 121 Midterm: CMN121 - M2 lectures 5-9
Document Summary
Lecture 5- conversational structure: turn - taking & topics in talk. There needs to be some form of exchange. People usually take turns talking & listening. 2 people don"t just talk at same time. Adjacency pairs - a pair of utterances spoken by 2 people. Ex: 1 person says utterance, then responder says utterance. Questions restrict the possible options of responses. Conversations occur when there"s at least 1 adjacency pair. Ex: walking by someone & just quickly say hello. Minimal hi & hi counts aas adjacency pair. Aka the 1st part of the pair & then the 2nd part of the pair. Ex: speaker 1 says 1st pair part & speaker 2 says 2nd pair part. * adjacency pairs focus on the dyad compared to the speech act theory focuses. This response is out of the ordinary on 1. Missed some notes (around 18 - 19 min on podcast) Response (2nd pair part) needs to match 1st pair part.
