This text presents a new model of conversation based on time, in
this case referring both to the rhythmic organization of
conversation, the tempo, and to the "right time" or timing. These
two notions of time correspond to two major systems governing
conversation: the turn taking system and the rapport system. This
model interweaves linguists' work on spoken discourse,
sociologists' work on conversation analysis, and psychologists'
work on non-verbal communication. This volume also explores the
evolution of the interview as a genre which creates a particular
context for conversation. Gatekeeping interviews in particular are
explored because of their dual nature-to guide and monitor
individuals in an institution or business. They are routine, but
essential factors in determining the future of individuals within
these organizations. Finally, the volume shows the importance of
the listener in conversation. No previous theory of discourse or
conversation incorporates the notion of rapport, yet speakers
clearly depend on listeners' response as cues for shaping their
utterances.
