An Overview of “Turns” in Conversation Analysis
Geng Chao
Abstract—Conversation Analysis (CA) derives from the 1970s,
which was put forward by Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson for
the sack of analyzing institutional talk, e.g., business negotiation
discourse, and doctor-patient communication discourse and
telephone conversations. Currently, it has become the most
favorable and effective method to analyze interactive discourse.
As the essential part of CA, the “turn” is the foundation of all
the research, carrying talk information and social rules in
interaction that plays an essential role in guiding the outcome of
conversations in social communication. The thesis made
classification, summaries and reviews on studies of “turns” in
conversation to explores the orientation of “turn” in
conversation by specifying the aspects of turn-taking, allocating,
and repairing to make an overview of turn in conversation
analysis and provide a spark for further study in the field. The
overview helped to recognize current status and make a new
attempt. It was revealed that studies of “turns” in conversation
analysis are widely applied in healthcare, patient-to-doctor
interaction in particular; during analysis of conversation, timespan
and manners of participants were mainly focused. The
thesis discovered a fact that studies of “turns” on on-line
interaction is insufficient, which is significant under the current
situation.
