 Wherever we are, we hear connected sound waves, and see letters
or orthographic forms to which we attach meanings based on our
knowledge, experience, and the situations or contexts in which these
waves and form occur. The waves and forms represent discourse (e.g.
conversation or story), and they are all around us—discourse
abounds in our world. A world without discourse is a world without
language, and this is utterly unthinkable.

• Topic Restriction
• Turn-Taking
• Topic Control
• Topic Shifting
• Repair
• Topic Termination

 How do you think
communication loses its art?
What do you think snatches
away our connection with
people?
 If you are to rekindle the art
of communication, would you
do the same as the girl did in
the video?
1. Topic Nomination
-Is choosing a topic and opening or
starting it for discussion.

-It is the ability of taking attention of the

hearers and trying to commence, or to
begin or nominate or propose speaker’s
ideas in a conversation.

16
1. Topic Nomination
-The speaker usually opens a topic in a
conversation.

Examples:

“Hi, how are you?”

“What’s the latest news?”

17
 2. Topic Restriction
-Is confining or limiting the development of the
topic and keeping it within bounds. This may
be done by interrupting the one speaking or
avoiding the topic altogether.

18
 2. Topic Restriction
-A strategy that constrains or restricts the
response of the other person involved in the
Communication situation.

-Listener is forced to respond only within a set

of categories that are made by the speaker.

19
2. Topic Restriction
Example:

In a class discussion, when your teacher says,

“How do you communicate with your friends
effectively? Write your answer through a 3-
paragraph statement.”

20
 3. Turn-taking
-Refers to the exchange of turns or instances
when each speaker talks in an interaction.

-A process by which people, in a conversation,

decide who is going to speak next.

21
 3. Turn-taking
Examples:

In a meeting, you will say,

“May I have the floor, please?”

In debate, speakers do not need to talk

at the same time.

22
23
 4. Topic Control
-Is directing and regulating the flow or
development of the interaction.

-This covers how procedural formality or

informality affects the development of topic in
conversations.

24
 4. Topic Control
Example:

In a debate, if the speaker is on the affirmative

side, he/she will only talk about the positive
points of the topic. Same goes with the
opposing side.

25
 5. Topic Shifting
-Means changing the topic or its direction
and emphasis.

-We shift a topic when we want to avoid a

conversation or topic.
 5. Topic Shifting
Example
You are having a conversation with you
classmate:

Anne: Hey, I’ve seen your post lately. Are

you heartbroken?

Anselm: Irrelevant post. Let’s talk about our

midterm grades instead.
 5. Topic Shifting
Example
Your classmate wants to know if you have a
crush inside the classroom:

Clement: Hey, do you have a crush on

Kirby?

Gemma: (panicking) Oh my goodness,

where are my glasses.
 6. Repair
-Is fixing and correcting anything negative,
or providing any kind of amends and
remedy to something that has gone wrong
in the exchange between two speakers.

-When something is being repaired,

something is damaged or broken.

29
 6. Repair
-One can apply this strategy in a
communication scenario through asking for
clarifications, not acknowledging, topic
shifting, repeating, recasting, and adding.

30
 6. Repair
Example:

Ephrem: I think I like her already. She is a

kindness person.

Basil: Do you mean kind?

Ephrem: Oh, I’m sorry. Yes, that’s what I

meant to say.
31
 7. Topic Termination
-Is ending, concluding, or closing the
conversation or interaction.

looking at your phone or watch.
