    Adjacency pair → Speaker change

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Adjacency pairs create expectations about the next contribution to a conversation. Turn-taking governs who speaks when and makes such sequences possible. Other factors also shape the allocation of turns.

    Conversational turn → Speaker change

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A conversational turn is a participant’s contribution to a conversation. Speaker change is the transition from one speaker to another; the organisation of contributions and transitions is studied as part of turn-taking. Distinguish the contribution unit, the change event and the organisational practices.

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Speaker change is the observable transition between speakers; turns are their contributions. Turn-taking concerns the temporal and interactional organisation of these transitions.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    Previously published English text
    Adjacency pairs make particular next actions expectable. Speaker change shows who actually continues. Conversation analysis examines how the transition is organised in time and interaction.

    Speaker change → Backchannel

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Backchannels can show attention or understanding while another person keeps the floor. Speaker change helps distinguish such feedback from a transition to a new speaker.
