Probably the most widely recognised conversational convention is that people take turns
speaking. But how do people know when it is their turn? Some rules must be present, otherwise
conversations would be continually breaking down into a disorganised jumble of interruptions
and simultaneous talk.
Turn-taking cues are usually quite subtle. People do not simply stop 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 end – typically, by lowering its
pitch, loudness, or speed.
Body movements and patterns of eye contact are especially important. While speaking, we
look at and away from our listener in about equal proportions; 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 signaling that
someone wants to speak next. One way is through an observable increase in body tension – by
leaning forward or producing an audible intake of breath. A less subtle approach is simply to
interrupt – a strategy that may be tolerated, if the purpose is to clarify what the speaker is
saying, but that more usually leads to social disapproval.
