On the Structure of Speaker-Auditor Interaction During Speaking Turns

Duncan, Starkey, Jr.

Language in Society, 3, 2, 161-180, Oct 74

The structure of speaker-auditor interaction was explored, using detailed language transcriptions and body-motion behavior. Three signals were hypothesized: a speaker within-turn signal, an auditor back-channel signal, and a speaker continuation signal. Signal sequences marked speaking turn units of interaction. (CK)
