Coordinating Conversation: Prosody and Strategy of Turn-Taking in Dialogue: 3

The flow of spoken interaction: How does turn-taking work in real dialogue? How do speakers coordinate turns in spontaneous dialogue? Alexey Tymbay examines turn-taking as a central mechanism of dialogue organization, focusing on the role of prosody, communicative strategies, and participant interaction in shaping conversational flow. Drawing on an experimental phonetic study and a communicative-pragmatic framework, he proposes an integrated model and offers a systematic account of the linguistic and prosodic resources that structure spoken interaction. The study thus contributes to contemporary research in the fields of discourse analysis, pragmatics, and speech communication.
