This document discusses key concepts in conversation analysis. It defines interaction and conversation, and explains the basic structure of turn-taking in conversation. It also describes important conversational elements like pauses, overlaps, backchannels, conversational style, adjacency pairs, and preference structure. Adjacency pairs refer to expected question-answer sequences in conversations, while preference structure indicates that acceptance is a more preferred response than refusal.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Turn-taking
In any situation where the control is not fixed, any one can
attempt to get it.
Local management system

turns.
6. Pauses
Conversation involves two or more participants and only one
person can speak at a time. While conversation between two
person there must be a silence for some second that can be
pauses.
Overlaps
It is something when both speakers are trying to speak at the
same time that can be awkward.
7. Backchannels/Backchannels signals.
Speaker always expect from his partner that
he is listening. There are some ways of going
this,
Head nods, smiles, gestures, and vocal
indications are called backchannel signals.
This is something is feedback which is used
by the listener that message is being
received.
i.e. conversation on telephone, face to face conversation.
8. Conversational Style

style.

Some people are very active and there speaking rate is very fast,
and there is no pausing between those speakers and may have
overlaps.
b) High considerateness style
This style is opposite from the previous style in which speakers
have a sloe rate of speaking and may have pauses in
conversation.
Due to pauses it may not have overlaps there will be no
interruption.
9. Adjacency pairs
The automatic sequence while conversation is called
adjacency pairs.
Adjacency pairs always consist of two parts. The first and the
second parts.
A: Hello
B: Hi!
A: How are you?
B: Fine!
A: see you!
B: bye!
10. Preference structure :
Acceptance is structurally more likely than refusal and structural
likelihood is called preference.
Preference structure divides second part into preferred and
dispreferred social acts.
Preferred :
Acceptance of something like request , invitation or proposal.
Excepted act is preferred.
11. Examples :
First person : Will you come at my marriage ?
Second person : yes , Of course.
1st person : can I get your number ?
2nd person : yes .
1st person : can you help me ?
2nd person : sure .
12. Dispreferred :
Unexpected act or refusal is dispreferred , silence is also
a dispreferred response , after leading to revision of the
first part.
Silence is risky as it may give the impression of non-
participation in the conversational structure.
Examples :
Sandy : I am sure they will have a great food there
( 1.6 seconds )
Sandy : hmmm - I guess the food isn’t good.
Jack : nah- people mostly go for the music,
13. Summary :
dispreferred take more time/language/ effort.
More language creates more distance between
first and second part.
Preferred represents closeness and quick
connections.
Participants try to avoid creating context for
dispreferred e.g. by using pre-sequence.
