COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY
People communicate every day to establish and maintain
relationships, know and understand themselves, and find meaning in the
daily grind. Moreover, since humans are social beings who survive more
effectively through sensible discourses, they are always driven to learn
the skills of creating and sustaining meaningful conversations.
Successful communication requires understanding of the relationship
between words and sentences and the speech acts they represent.
However, a conversation may be complex at times; that is why some
people get lost along the way and misunderstand each other. It is only
when we willingly cooperate and speak in socially approved ways that
we can make a conversation meaningful.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
NOMINATION - A speaker carries
out nomination to collaboratively
and productively establish a topic.
Basically, when you employ this
strategy, you try to open a topic
with the people you are talking to.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
RESTRICTION - in communication refers to any
limitation you may have as a speaker. When
communicating in the classroom, in a meeting,
or while hanging out with your friends, you are
typically given specific instructions that you
must follow. These instructions confine you as
a speaker and limit what you can say.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
TURN-TAKING - Sometimes people are given
unequal opportunities to talk because others take
much time during the conversation. Turn-taking
pertains to the process by which people decide
who takes the conversational floor. There is a
code of behavior behind establishing and
sustaining a productive conversation, but the
primary idea is to give all communicators a chance
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
TOPIC CONTROL - covers how procedural
formality or informality affects the development
of topic in conversations. For example, in
meetings, you may only have a turn to speak after
the chairperson directs you to do so. Contrast this
with a casual conversation with friends over lunch
or coffee where you may take the conversational
floor anytime.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
TOPIC SHIFTING - Topic shifting, as
the name suggests, involves moving
from one topic to another. In other
words, it is where one part of a
conversation ends and where another
begins.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
REPAIR - refers to how speakers address the
problems in speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they may encounter in a
conversation. For example, if everybody in the
conversation seems to talk at the same time,
give way and appreciate other’s initiative to
set the conversation back to its topic.
TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE
STRATEGY
TERMINATION - refers to the
conversation participants’ close-initiating
expressions that end a topic in a
conversation. Most of the time, the topic
initiator takes responsibility to signal the
end of the discussion as well.
