2. Restriction 3. Turn-Taking
1. 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

Examples:
➢ "Do you have anything to say?"
➢ "Have you heard the news about the prettiest girl in school?"
➢ "Now, it’s your turn to ask questions."
➢ "Does that make sense to you?

2. Restriction

Restriction in communication refers to any limitation you may have as a speaker.

Also, this strategy 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.
➢ Examples:
➢ In your class, you might be asked by your teacher to brainstorm on peer
pressure.
➢ When you were asked to deliver a speech in a specific language.
3. Turn-Taking
Turn-taking pertains to the process by which people decide who takes the
conversational floor. There is a code of behavior behind establishing and sustaining a
productive conversation, but the primary idea is to give all communicators a chance
to speak.

Example:
➢ Can we all listen to the one who talk in front of us?
➢ "Excuse me? I think we should speak one at a time, so we can clearly
understand what we want to say about the topic."
➢ "Go on with your ideas. I'll let you finish first before I say something.“

4. Topic Control
Topic control covers how procedural formality and informality affects the
development of topics in conversation. This only means that when a topic is
initiated, it should be collectively developed by avoiding unnecessary interruptions
and topic shifts.

Example:
➢ "One of the essential lessons I gained from the discussion is the
importance of sports and wellness to a healthy lifestyle."
chance to speak.
5. Topic Shifting

Topic shifting, as the name suggests, involves moving from one topic to
another. In other words, it is where one part of a conversation ends and where
another begins.

Examples:
"By the way, there's a new shop opening at the mall"
“In addition to what you said about the beautiful girl is that she is also smart.“

6. Repair
Repair refers to how speaker address the problems in speaking, listening, and
comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation.
It is overcoming communication breakdown to send more comprehensible
messages.
Examples:
➢ "Excuse me, but there are 5 Functions of Communication not 4."
➢ "I'm sorry, the word should be pronounced as pretty not priti.".
7. Termination

Termination refers to the conversation of participants’ close-initiating expressions

that end a topic in a conversation.

It uses verbal and nonverbal signals to end the interaction.

It ends the interaction through verbal and nonverbal Messages that both Speaker
and Listener send to each other. Sometimes the Termination is quick and short.
Sometimes it is prolonged by clarification, further questions, or the continuation of
the topic already discussed, but the point of the language and body movement is to
end the communication.

Examples:
➢ "Best regards to your parents! See you around!
➢ “It was nice meeting you. Bye!"
➢ "That is all for today class, goodbye!"
