STRATEGY? linguistic purpose. 2
01 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.
• It commences a conversation by
suggesting, introducing or proposing a
topic to be discussed, for example
asking a person about their day.
EXAMPLES:
How are
you?

• “How was your day?”

• “Have you felt the
earthquake last night?”
• “There’s a new film
festival next month!”
02 •
RESTRICTIONS
A strategy that constrains or restricts
the response of the other person
involved in the communication
situation. The listener is forced to
respond only within a set of categories
that is made by the speaker.
• Restriction in communication refers to
any limitation you may have as a
speaker. When communicating in the
classroom, in a meeting or while
hanging out with your friends, you are
typically given specific instructions
that you must follow.
EXAMPLES:
How are
you?
• “They say that the Philippine
economy is getting better.
Only the stupid think that,
right? “
• “Are you good at solving?”
• “The arrest move was a
disaster waiting to happen.
Do you agree?”
03 TURN - TAKING
• Pertains to the process by which
people decide who takes the
conversational floor.
• A code of behaviour behind
establishing and sustaining a
productive conversation but the
primary idea is to give all
communicators a chance to speak.
 EXAMPLES
HOL
A • “What do you think?”
• “Do you have
something to say?”
• “You have the spotlight
now”
04 •
TOPIC CONTROL
Used to control and prevent
unnecessary interruptions and topic
shifts in a certain conversation. It
urges sticking to the topic throughout
the discussion and helps participants
conclude their conversation
effectively and satisfactorily with
mutual understanding and agreement.
• It covers how procedural formality or
informality affects the development of
the topic in a conversation.
EXAMPLES:
• “Let’s go back to
HEY!
the topic”
• “We're talking
about school
here, right?”
05 TOPIC SHIFTING
• A diversionary tactic in which one
person in a discussion (the shifter)
manages to subtly change the
discussion's topic to another, related
but different topic, without explicitly
announcing the change of subject or
reaching any kind of mutual
agreement that such a change is
appropriate.
 CLUES FOR TOPIC
SHIFT:
1. CLUE WORDS FOR TOPIC SHIFT 2. EXPLICITLY LABELED SHIFTS

"By the way," "but," "yeah," etc., "What I was saying before," "speaking
indicate the start of a new topic of X," etc., can be markers to
indicate topic shift.

3. MODE OF REFERENCE
4. REPITITION OF WORDS

ended.
 5. TENSE SHIFT
For example, in order to close a topic, a shift from past tense to
present tense is effective. And conversely, a shift from present
to past tense indicates the beginning of a new topic.
 EXAMPLES
BONJOUR
• "What were you talking a
while ago?“
• "You have point with that. But
aren't we going to talk about
your vacation?“
SALUT
• "That's quite interesting! But
what I am trying to say a while
ago...“
• "But aren't you going out
tonight?"

REPAIR
Conversational Repair – is when you
say something to a listener that you
believe the listener has not
understood, you will revise or repair
your message to increase the chances
of successful communication.
• Repair is the overcoming of
communication breakdown to send
more comprehensible messages.
• Repair refers to how speakers address
the problems in speaking, listening,
and comprehending that they may
encounter in a conversation
 EXAMPLES:

• “I beg your pardon, but the latest record of the number of islands
in the Philippines is 7,641 and not 7,107.”
• “The correct pronunciation of Nike is not nayk but nayki.”
07 TERMINATION
• It refers to the conversation
participants’ close-initiating
remarks that end a topic in a
communication process.
• It is the utilization of verbal and
non-verbal signals to end the
interaction.
• Most of the time, the topic
initiator takes responsibility to
signal the end of the discussion as
well.
 EXAMPLES:

• “See you around then”

• “Let’s chat some more when I see you again.”
• “I just need to rush this, would that be okay?”
• “Goodbye and thank you Mr. Moloboco”
