ABSTRACT
We have already looked at the features of spoken language and the_ storytelling of conversation. Before we look at any other conversational genre, it seems logical to look at the features that can be used by speakers to structure conversation. Because of its spontaneity, there is no conscious plan to build a conversation but speakers with similar knowledge nevertheless work together at structuring and building the various types of conversation that we use daily. This unit looks at the various structuring mechanisms available in conversation.
