INTRODUCTION:
We know that communication has dynamics, aspects and variables to consider when
communicating to someone, we also know the process and models that are in part of
communication. Now this topic talks about how we can effectively communicate and apply
communicative strategies competently.
1.) NOMINATION
- Nomination is one of the communicative strategies in which a speaker specifically
identifies a topic or subject in a conversation. It involves introducing, naming, or
selecting the subject matter that you want to discuss.
This strategy is essential for initiating and directing a conversation effectively and
ensuring that all participants are on the same page regarding the topic of discussion.
EXAMPLES:
- Could you tell me about the quiz yesterday?
- Have you watched the news last night?
- Do you like festivals?
2.) RESTRICTION
- Restriction is a strategy in which constrains and restricts the response of the other person
in a conversation. The listener or the receiver is forced to respond with only the sets of
categories that the sender provides.
Restriction narrows the conversation, making it more detailed and specific. It's often used
to delve deeper into one aspect of a broader topic.
EXAMPLES
- What is the score you got in the quiz yesterday?
- What were the thoughts you had about the news last night?
- What was your topic for this report?
- Person B: "Sure, that sounds like a great idea. What time are you thinking?"
Unlike restriction. Topic control only controls the topic, however it allows more
flexibility than restriction. Because restriction is bound to a specific sub-topic of a topic
that the sender presents in the conversation.
EXAMPLES
- Person A: "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about our upcoming vacation plans. Do you have
any ideas for where we should go?"
- Person B: "Hmm, I'm not sure yet. I was thinking about a beach destination, but I'm open
to suggestions."
- Person A: "Great! I was looking into a few options. There's a beautiful beach resort in
Hawaii that seems amazing. And there's also a charming mountain cabin in Colorado.
Which one do you prefer?"
- This shift can be intentional, as someone guides the conversation in a new direction, or it
can happen naturally as a result of the flow of the discussion.
EXAMPLES
- Person A: "I had a great time at the beach last weekend. The weather was perfect."
- Person B: "That sounds lovely! Speaking of outdoor activities, I've started hiking
recently. It's such a refreshing experience."
6.) REPAIR
- This applies when in a particular conversation, a misunderstanding or miscommunication
occurs. Or if the sender wishes to clarify his or her point, the process of repair is used to
resolve these issues and maintain effective communication.
Types of REPAIR
- Self-Repair: When a speaker realizes they have made an error or that their message was
unclear, they may correct themselves by providing additional information or rephrasing
what they said.
- Other-Repair: This involves one person in the conversation helping another person
correct an error or misunderstanding. For example, when a listener asks for clarification
or repetition.
- Non-Verbal Repair: Sometimes, people use non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions or
gestures, to signal that they need clarification or to express uncertainty.
TERMINATION
- Refers to the process of concluding a conversation or communication exchange in a
manner that is appropriate, polite, and effective. Termination is an essential aspect of
communication, as it helps bring closure to the interaction and leaves a positive
impression.
Types of TERMINATION
- Planned Termination: This is when participants in a conversation have a specific endpoint
in mind and prepare to conclude the interaction. It could be the end of a business meeting
or a scheduled phone call.
