Info

THE BOOK OF TELLS you started talking. The third way is by producing 'negative back-channel'. Instead of supporting the speaker with 'back-channel signals', you can try to persuade the speaker to give up the floor by sighing, looking away, or impatiently nodding your head - in other words, doing things that are designed to discourage the speaker from continuing. Finally, you can always try to take the floor by interrupting the speaker. Interruptions occur when two people are talking at the same time, but not all cases of simultaneous talk count as interruptions. There are three kinds of overlap talk: • SUPPORTING. This occurs when the listener makes a positive remark while the other person is talking. For example, while the other person is talking the listener might say, 'I completely agree with you'. Although this interjection overlaps with the speaker's talk it doesn't count as an interruption because it's not designed to transfer the speaker role to the listener - it's intended to keep the speaker and the listener in their present roles. • SNIPING. This occurs when one person is talking and the listener says something like 'Rubbish!' or 'I don't agree'. Again, although there is overlap talk, these interjections are not necessarily cases of interruption because the listener may have no intention of usurping the speaker's role - the listener may simply want to express a point of view, and possibly unsettle the speaker in the process. • INTERRUPTING. Interruptions occur when the overlap talk is a product of competing desires for the floor - for example, when one person is speaking and the other 108
CONVERSATION TELLS person talks across that person in an attempt to secure the floor for him- or herself. Successful interruptions occur when the speaker relinquishes the floor to the interrupter, and unsuccessful interruptions occur when the speaker manages to see off the challenge and hold on to the floor. Interrupters use several tricks to ensure success. One is to raise their volume - it's been discovered that interrupters who talk louder than the other person are more likely to acquire the floor. 4 Another trick is to appear resolute. Interrupters who talk without hesitation, and who remain unaffected by the fact that the other person is also talking, are more likely to succeed. So are interrupters who continue to talk beyond the point where most interrupters give up the challenge. There are two critical points in overlap talk. One is the 'accident point' and the other is the 'challenge point'. For example, when the listener thinks that the speaker is about to give up the floor and starts to talk, both of them are likely to end up talking at the same time. Because the interrupter has no intention of grabbing the floor from the speaker, he or she is likely to stop talking at the 'accident point', which is about one second into the overlap talk. By stopping at this point, rather than later, the interrupter can show the speaker that the overlapping talk was accidental. He can also get this message across by stopping the interruption in mid-sentence rather than at the end of the utterance. The other critical point in overlap talk is the 'challenge point'. This is the point where interrupters normally give up the challenge, and it occurs about two to three seconds after the beginning of overlap 109
