need one good conversation from each of the cooperative, competitive and turn taking speeches. Make sure you explain well why the conversations are cooperative, competitive and Interruption e.g., not following turn taking rule.
You must show in the conversations what linguistic strategies the characters use in their conversations and Elaborate the discussion.
ATT: For example, in cooperative discussions or conversations, you should include conversations that have minimal responses such as: um, hmm, uh huh, and yeah, yes, no, quiet, surely, I see, that is true, yes’, ‘right’ and shaking head as a form of non-verbal minimal response.
As for competitive, the conversations should contain interruptions or overlap.
As for turn taking the conversations should interruption of conversations or overlap.
This part I want you to use your own words so that it does not look like someone else paper:
Zimmerman and West (1975:108) mention only um, hmm, uh huh, and yeah as minimal responses. Kendon’s (1975:204) come up with yes, quite, surely, I see and that’s true. Reid (2005:8) argues in Gender Differences in Minimal Responses: Fishman (1978:402) cites minimal responses as ‘yeah’, ‘umm’, ‘huh’. Woods (1988:143) adds ‘yes’ and ‘right’ to this list. …Tao & Thompson (1991:210) define backchannels as ‘short, non-lexical utterances produced by an interlocutor who is playing primarily a listener’s role during the other interlocutor’s speakership’.
