COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY

Since engaging in conversation is also

bound by implicit rules, Cohen (1990)
states that strategies must be used to
start and maintain a conversation.
Knowing and applying grammar
appropriately is one of the most basic
strategies to maintain a conversation.
COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY
“Successful communication
requires understanding of the
relationship between words and
sentences and the speech acts
they represent.“
 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.
 NOMINATION
PRESENTING A PARTICULAR
TOPIC CLEARLY,
TRUTHFULLY AND SAYING
ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT.
 RESTRICTION
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.
 RESTRICTION
CONSTRAINING THE
RESPONSE/REACTION
WITHIN A SET OF
CATEGORIES.
 TURN-TAKING
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 to speak.
 TURN-TAKING
RECOGNIZING
WHEN AND HOW
TO SPEAK.
 TOPIC CONTROL
Topic control covers how
procedural formality or
informality affects the
development of topic in
conversations.
 TOPIC CONTROL
KEEPING THE
INTERACTION GOING
BY ASKING QUESTIONS
AND ELICITING A
RESPONSE.
 TOPIC SHIFTING
Topic shifting, suggests involves
moving from one topic to another.
In other words, it is where one
part of a conversation ends and
where another begins.
 TOPIC SHIFTING
INTRODUCING A NEW
TOPIC FOLLOWED BY
CONTINUATION OF
THAT TOPIC.
 REPAIR
Repair refers to how speakers
address the problems in speaking,
listening, and comprehending that
they may encounter in a
conversation.
 REPAIR
OVERCOMING
COMMUNICATION
BREAKDOWN TO SEND
MORE COMPREHENSIBLE
MESSAGES.
 TERMINATION
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.
 TERMINATION
USING VERBAL AND
NONVERBAL SIGNALS
TO END THEIR
INTERACTION.
