Conversational analysis in beckett's "endgame"

الملخص EN

Conversation is a way of speaking of two or more people by means of two turns, the first turn and the second turn.

The basis of a conversation is normally interactional, although sometimes it has got a transactional element.

Turn–taking is the process of alternating between speakers or participants in a conversation.

Turn–taking occurs either through nomination or by self–selection by the new speaker.

Adjacency pairs are considered as functional units in conversational organization.

Such pairs are most frequent in play which is the means of interaction between characters.

The problem of the research is related to how can a complete turn identified.

To identify a turn you need to examine the points of possible completion of a turn at transition relevant places.

It is difficult to identify a turn without it sings of possible completion.

This study aims at analyzing conversation as a means of interaction between people (social side).

Also this study aims at supporting some critical points of view concerning the Absurd playwrights' way of writing (their techniques).

In addition to that identifying the reasons behind the occurrence of silences and the role and boundaries of a turn in a conversation (the beginning and end of turn).

It is hypothesized that silences occur as a result of rather absence of possible completion of a turn and topic-change devices possible reclosing and precluding.

Also, it is the use of turn-by turn allocation system waiting to speak.
