Types of Communicative Strategy

• Nomination in communication is the strategy of initiating a topic for a conversation to establish a topic collaboratively and productively.
• Questions are a common method of communication to establish and maintain relationships, understand oneself, and find meaning in the daily grind.
• Successful communication requires understanding the relationship between words and sentences and the speech act they represent.
• Conversation can become complex at times, leading to misunderstanding and confusion.
• Cooperation and speaking in socially approved ways can make a conversation meaningful.
• Restriction in communication is the strategy of confining or limiting the development of the topic and keeping it within bounds.
• Turn-taking in communication is the exchange of turns or instances when each speaker talks in an interaction.
• Turn-getting in communication is done by the speaker who wishes to say something.
• Turn-keeping in communication is when the speaker wants to hold-on to his or her turn by using connectors such as "also, moreover, and in addition".
• Turn-yielding in communication means the speaker gives up his or her turn so that other speakers can say something.
• Turn-accepting in communication is when the speakers will alternate turns to speak in cases such as question and answer (How long are you staying here?/Five days); request and acceptance (Could you please pass the salt?/Here you go); request and denial (Do you want to come with us?/ I'm sorry but I think I will pass).
• Topic Control in communication covers how procedural formality or informality affects the development of a topic in conversations.
• Topic Shifting in communication involves moving from one topic to another.
• Repair in communication refers to how speakers address a problem in speaking, listening, and comprehending that they may encounter in a conversation.
