Description - Turn-Taking in English and Japanese by Hiroko Furo

This book examines turn-taking in English and Japanese conversations and political news interviews to investigate the relationship between language and interaction. The study reveals that turn-taking systems are modified by linguistic, cultural and situational constraints as well as by interactional needs; however, the modifications are implemented in orderly ways.
