Strategies
Since engaging in conversation is
also bound by implicit rules, Cohen
(1990) states that strategies must
be used to start and maintain a
conversation.
 1. 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.
 EXAMPLE:
• "Do you have anything to say?"
• "Have you heard the news about
the most pretty girl in school?"
• "Does that make sense to you?"
 2. RESTRICTION
Restriction in
communication refers
to any limitation you
may have as a
speaker.
EXAMPLE:
• In your class, you might be asked by
your teacher to brainstorm on peer
pressure.
• When you were asked to deliver a
speech in a specific language.
 3. 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.
EXAMPLE:
• Can we all listen to the one who talk in front
of us?
• "Excuse me? I think we should speak one at a
time, so we can clearly understand what we
want to say about the topic."
• "Go on with your ideas. I'll let you finish first
before I say something."
 4. TOPIC CONTROL
Topic control covers how
procedural formality and
informality affects the
development of topics in
conversation. This only means that
when a topic is initiated, it should
be collectively developed by
avoiding unnecessary interruptions
and topic shifts.
 EXAMPLE:
In meetings, you may only have a
turn to speak after the
chairperson directs you to do so.
 5. TOPIC SHIFTING
Topic shifting, as the name
suggests, involves moving
from one topic to another. In
other words, it is where one
part of a conversation ends
and where another begins.
EXAMPLE:
• "By the way, there's a new shop
opening at the mall"
• " In addition to what you said about
the beautiful girl is that she is also
smart."
 6. REPAIR
Refers to how speaker
address the problems in
speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they
may encounter in a
conversation. It is the self-
righting mechanism.
EXAMPLE:
• "Excuse me, but there are 5
Functions of Communication not 4."
• "I'm sorry, the word should be
pronounced as Pretty not priti."
 7. TERMINATION
Termination refers to the
conversation participants’
close-initiating
expressions that end a
topic in a conversation.
EXAMPLE:
• "Best regards to your parents! See
you around!
• " It was nice meeting you. Bye!
• "That is all for today class,
goodbye!"
