Types of communicative strategies include nomination, which refers to opening a conversation; restriction, which limits the subject or topic of communication; turn taking, where some people are given unequal opportunities to talk due to others taking more time; topic control, which examines how formality affects the development of conversation topics; topic shifting, or moving from one topic to another; repair, which is the self-correcting mechanism in social interactions; and termination, expressions used by participants to end a topic in a conversation.
