  Article:   CONVERSATIONAL INTERACTION.

Authors:  EMILIA PLACINTAR.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  This study presents conversational interaction as an orderly activity and a reciprocal undertaking in which participants jointly contribute to its emergence. It discusses the elements of conversational discourse, the local and intersubjective construction of conversation through the turn system, and the actions within the turn-taking process. The article also attempts to explain the mechanism that underlies local management in conversation by reference not only to Sacks et al.’s classic theory but also to alternative accounts of the turn-taking phenomenon.
