bare minimum for holding a conversation

#emca
(1) Speaker-change recurs, or at least occurs (cf. $4.1, below). (2) Overwhelmingly, one party talks at a time (cf. $4.2). (3) Occurrences of more than one speaker at a time are common, but brief (cf. $4.3). (4) Transitions (from one turn to a next) with no gap and no overlap are common. Together with transitions characterized by slight gap or slight overlap, they make up the vast majority of transitions (cf. $4.4). (5) Turn order is not fixed, but varies (cf. $4.5). (6) Turn size is not fixed, but varies (cf. 44.6). (7) Length of conversation is not specified in advance (cf. $4.7). (8) What parties say is not specified in advance (cf. $4.8). (9) Relative distribution of turns is not specified in advance (cf. $4.9). (10) Number of parties can vary (cf. $4.10). (11) Talk can be continuous or discontinuous (cf. 44.11). (12) Turn-allocation techniques are obviously used. A current speaker may select a next speaker (as when he addresses a question to another party); or parties may self-select in starting to talk (cf. $4.12). (13) Various 'turn-constructional units' are employed; e.g., turns can be projectedly 'one word long', or they can be sentential in length (cf. $4.13). (14) Repair mechanisms exist for dealing with turn-taking errors and violations; e.g., if two parties find themselves talking at the same time, one of them will stop prematurely, thus repairing the trouble (cf. 44.14).
