Abstract

This report extends earlier context-free treatments of turn-taking for con- versation by describing the context-sensitive operation of the principal forms of addressing employed by current speakers to select next speakers. It first describes the context-specific limitations of gaze-directional addressing, and the selective deployment and more-than-addressing action regularly accom- plished by address terms (most centrally, names). In addition to these ex- plicit methods of addressing, this report introduces tacit forms of addressing that call on the innumerable context-specific particulars of circumstance, content, and composition to select a next speaker. (Turn-taking, turn allo- cation, conversation, context.)
