Communicativestrategy

Here are the communicative strategies I observe in this dialogue: 1. Nomination - Dria proposes eating pasta as an option. 2. Topic Control - Natalie tries to direct the conversation back to deciding the location when it shifts to discussing food preferences. 3. Repair - Dria points out Risen's inconsistent statements about being willing to eat anything vs not wanting pasta. 4. Termination - The conversation ends when a sale is noticed, providing a reason for consensus on a location.

Communicative Strategies

- are the blueprints for how


information will be exchanged
-is the ability of taking the attention of
1. the hearers and trying to
Nomination commence(begin)
- propose the speaker’s ideas in a
conversation whereby the other people
involved in the conversation can still
talk or even butt into the discussion
- When beginning a topic in a
conversation, especially if it does not
arise from a previous topic, you may
start off with news inquiries and so on
as they promise extended talk.
-this involves a constrained conversation
2. between a speaker and a listener
Restriction - It is a communication where a person
speaks and others listen without any
chances for the listeners to be heard
Ex.
A homily of a priest in a mass
A commencement speaker during a
graduation ceremony
3. Turn- -refers to the process by which
taking people in a conversation decide who
is to speak next
-rules on this depend on culture,
Ex. norms, standards or mechanics set
A parliamentary debate-debaters do
not raise points at the same time -primary idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak
bride and groom
exchanging vows
4. Topic
- Covers how procedural formality or informality affects
the development of a topic

Control
Ex. In a meeting, you may only have a turn to speak after
the chairperson directs you to do so

Mr. President: Miss Garcia, do you want to add


something?
In a classroom
reporting, turn-
taking and
topic control
are used as
communicative
strategies.
5. Topic - It is where one part of a conversation ends and where

Shifting another begins


- This includes the ability to prudently and courteously
end a conversation about a topic and lead the talk to
another issue
- Use effective conversational transitions: “By the way”,
“in addition to what you said “and the like

Ex.
Job Interview-Past work experiences to scholastic records
to personal concern to other matters
6. Repair - Refers to how speakers address the problems in
speaking, listening and comprehending that they may
encounter in a conversation
- Ability to ensure that troubles don’t cause the
interaction to stop, the intersubjectivity to be distorted
(unfair)and the turn and sequence of the exchange to
fail
- Self-initiated & other-initiated

Ex.
“ We don’t really move. I mean, we’d like to, but my mom is
sort of attached to the house. Attached is , I guess , not the
right word. She’s pretty much wedge in.”( Johnny Depp as
Gilbert in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, 1993)
7. - Communicative strategy of artistically ending a
conversation.
Termination - It refers to practices of closing down a topic
-directive strategies & indirective strategies
(nonverbal cues(looking at the phone/watch, yawning,
walking out)
- Ex.
“I have to go…..”
“ Bye….”
“I’m sorry but I think we have talked long enough…”
Let’s observe Bill: Hey everyone! Nomination

Jo: Hi, Bill. I’m happy you found us.

this! Bill: How you doin’?


Jo: It’s goin’ good. You see the sky today? Topic Shifting
Bill: Yeah!, she’s ,uh—she’s really talking
Jo: (Tossing him a cord) Catch!(Bill gives Jo an annoyed
look as Jo jumps off the van) It’s the biggest series of
storms in 12 years. One lined up right after another.
And NSSL says they’ve never seen anything like it.
Bill: ( Not really interested in what Jo is saying) So, Jo,
about the divorce papers- Topic Control

(JO walks out) Termination


Repair “ Excuse me? I think we should speak one at a time , so we
can clearly understand what we want to say about the
issue”
I. Identify the communicative strategy in each
Let’s do statement.
this! 1. “ Have you eaten your breakfast?”
2. “ One of the essential lessons I gained from the
discussion is the importance of sports and
wellness to a healthy lifestyle.”
3. “ You look great. By the way, where do you work
now?”
4. “ Go on with your ideas. I’ll le t you finish first
before I say something.”
5. “ Have you heard the news about the latest

6. “ Hey, how are you?I missed you!”
7. “ Best regards to your parents! Se e you around!”
8. “Good to see you. Anyway, I came to visit you because I want
to personally offer apologies for what
I did yesterday.”
9. “ Sorry, I can’t decide on that now, I am still focused on my
writing assignment . Let’s talk next time, okay?”
10. “ Now, it’s your turn to ask question.”
II. Natalie: Let us just eat rice.
Risen: I am hungry, let’s eat… Aki: Of course, we will eat rice. However the
Dria: Where do you want to eat? question is still, where will we eat?
Risen: Anywhere Natalie: SO where?
Natalie: Okay, let’s eat at Risen: anywhere
Mcdonald’s Dria: Let’s just eat anywhere
Aki: I do not want to eat there Risen: SO where are we eating? I am already
