Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Linguistics
  • Communication Studies

Background:

  • Workplace meetings are complex multiparty interactions requiring coordinated action.
  • Non-primary speakers face unique challenges in initiating turns and maintaining engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the multimodal practices used by non-primary speakers in workplace meetings.
  • To understand how participants coordinate turn transitions and recipiency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 26 hours of videotaped workplace meetings.
  • Examination of phonetic, prosodic, and bodily-visual cues.
  • Focus on self-selecting non-primary speakers securing turns.

Main Results:

  • Non-primary speakers monitor current speakers' turn structure closely.
  • Heightened interest displays signal approaching turn completion.
  • Turn initiation practices align with participants' recipiency cues.

Conclusions:

  • Multimodal practices are crucial for turn-taking in workplace meetings.
  • This study expands turn-taking theory beyond traditional grammar.
  • Bodily-visual actions, phonetics, and prosody are key to coordinated interaction.
