The Technology
of Conversation
- Language
Regulators
- "gut-feeling"
when
appropriate
interaction
is occuring
- interpreters make
adjustments:
become director
of interaction by
employing certain
strategies and by
making decisions
about which rules
to follow
- which person gets to
speak when 2 people start
talking at same time
- how people are interrupted
- how people keep control
of their turn of talk
- Turn-Taking
- use mechanisms to control flow:
help listener know when speaker is
at beginning, middle, or end and help
them know when to start talking
- ASL Users
- maintain their turn when
stopping to gather their
thoughts by dropping
their eye gaze, keeping
their hands up, or holding
the last sign frozen
- English Users
- will not understand
pauses that are due to
processing time & are
not use to using an
interpreter, so they
will be uncomfortable
during silence
- Interpreters should use English fillers
like "hmm" or "well" in order to maintain
Deaf consumer's position as a speaker
- respond too quick: not
interested in what other
said than your own reply
- respond too slowly: lack of
understanding, disinterest,
or disagreement

Turn of Talk

huh", "right", or

auditory ques
- Ending a
Turn of Talk

- indicate by
lowering their
voice, saying the
word "OK", or

"yeah", "I see", etc
- ASL Users
- raised eyebrows, head nods,
MMM facial expression, or signs:
"OH-I-SEE", "UNDERSTAND", etc.
