TYPES OF COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGY
1. NOMINATION
5. TOPIC SHIFTING
2. RESTRICTION
6. REPAIR
3. TURN-TAKING
7. TERMINATION
4. TOPIC CONTROL
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.
2. RESTRICTION
•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 a specific instructions that you
must follow.
3. TURN-TAKING
•Sometimes people are given unequal opportunities to talk
because others take much time during the conversation.
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.
4. TOPIC CONTROL
•Topic control covers how procedural formality or
informality affects the development of topic in
conversations. Regardless of the formality of the
context, topic control is achieved cooperatively.
This means avoiding unnecessary interruptions
and topic shifts.
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 the
conversation ends and where another
begins.
6. REPAIR
•Repair refers to how speakers address the
problems in speaking, listening, and comprehending
that they may encounter in a conversation. For
example, if everybody in the conversation seems to
talk at the same time, give way and appreciate
other’s initiative to set the conversation back to its
topic.
7. TERMINATION
•Termination refers to the conversation
participants’ close initiating expressions that
end a topic in conversation. Most of the
time, the topic initiator takes responsibility to
signal the end of the discussion as well.
